The Voice of Portraits
by Aurora Villalba
Description
Did the Dorias really have everything a family could want? Will Lucia still believe this years later?
Lucia believed the Dorias were the perfect family. They seemed to have everything anyone could want: beauty, fame, and money. Just being near them made her feel safe and secure. However, the passing years reveal a very differ- ent reality to that which several family objects have borne witness: a wedding invitation, a pregnancy test, an urn that once held someone’s ashes, and a family photograph. The photograph is as tattered as Lucia’s life upon reach- ing adulthood. At twenty-five, she thought she had severed all ties with the Doria family, but one day she receives an invitation to a wedding from Alejandra Doria. Will Lucia attend?
