About the Book

This story collection, following members of una familia from their immigration to California in the 1920s to present day, is a perfect antidote to the broadbrush stereotypes of immigrants common in today's news. Poet Rigoberto Gonzalez included Hola and Goodbye in "Amid Uncertain Times, 11 New and Necessary Latino Books to Read" in NBCNews.com, November 30, 2016. HOLA AND GOODBYE was the recipient of the silver award in the International Latino Literary Awards, as well as the IPPY Gold Medal for West Pacific Fiction. The book was also the recipient of the Bakwin Award for writing by a woman, judged by Randall Kenan.

Review :
Donna Miscolta brings the old streets to burning life. I can hear these voices, I can smell the cooking. The ghosts step out of these alleys as if they'd never left. Wonderful stuff. --Luis Urrea, author of Into the Beautiful North and Queen of America "Life," Donna Miscolta writes in Hola and Goodbye, "was not about running away, but running toward something." The characters in this intricately linked and exquisitely structured collection of stories do just that. For better or worse, they rush toward life, future-minded despite the past whispering from behind, and fueled by the clashing forces that make us human--courage and recklessness, wisdom and hope, the need to belong and the undeniable instinct to strike out on your own. Miscolta writes with the precision demanded by the short story, but with the range, scope, and generosity we crave in the novel, and what results is an unforgettable reading experience. Hola and Goodbye is a thoroughly satisfying book from a very talented writer. ―Lysley Tenorio, author of Monstress
