Weather the House

Cari Fernández has spent twenty-five years studying Caribbean storms and avoiding her family in Havana. She expects her brother's impossible call to end in a leaky roof or another argument nobody wants to name.

Instead, the front door opens onto Category 4 winds.

The street outside is calm. The living room is not. Rain falls indoors; her mother's white hair refuses to stay pinned. Armed with barometers and disbelief, Cari maps the house. The kitchen drizzle belongs to her brother. The stairwell fog belongs to her aunt. The Category 4 wind belongs to a silence that began the night Cari left Cuba.

A scientist can chart pressure. A daughter must survive what releases it. And the house is running out of walls.

Riotously strange and achingly human, a family storm story about homecoming, withheld truth, and light after impossible weather.
