Description:

L.A. is parched, dry as a bone, and all Oscar, the weather-obsessed patriarch of the Alvarado family, desperately wants is a little rain. He’s harboring a costly secret that distracts him from everything else. His wife, Keila, desperate for a life with a little more intimacy and a little less Weather Channel, feels she has no choice but to end their marriage. Their three daughters, Claudia, a television chef with a hard-hearted attitude; Olivia, a successful architect who suffers from gentrification guilt; and Patricia, a social media wizard who has an uncanny knack for connecting with audiences but not with her lovers, are blindsided and left questioning everything they know. Each will have to take a critical look at her “own” relationships and make some tough decisions along the way.

One Book, One County” is a community reading program bringing together 18 library districts in Los Angeles County! From June 1-July 27, all participating libraries will be reading and discussing L.A. Weather by María Amparo Escandón. This community reading program fosters collaboration, education and conversation across our county and emphasizes the power of connected libraries to create connected communities."

L.A. Weather is available in English in print, eBook, and eAudiobook from LAPL. Free copies are available while supplies last.
