The laughter of her mother on the phone fills the house; Leomary overhears her mother recalling events from a lively quinceañera last night and a small smile escapes the young girl’s face. Even from the inside of her room she could smell the strong aroma of the Cuban coffee coating the kitchen. Café con Leche, “coffee with milk”, is standard for Breakfast in the Cuban-Nicaraguan household, and it’s also usually accompanied by a colorful bowl of fruits.
