Lorena Hughes is the author of The Spanish Daughter. She was born and raised in Ecuador until she came to the United States at the age of 18. Ecuador is where most of the story takes place. Vinces is the city in Ecuador where the Spanish daughter came to visit after her father died. Puri is the name of the Spanish daughter which is short for Maria Purificacion deLafont. Puri grew up in Spain. Her father left for Ecuador when she was two years old. After he died, he left part of his cacao growing plantation to her. After getting a notification of his death and her inheritance, she travels to Vinces, Ecuador to learn more. The year is 1920. Puri has always been interested in cacao. She opened a cacao shop in Spain where she sold hot chocolate and chocolate truffles. This was an interesting family drama where I learned much about cacao plantations too.
