When everything goes wrong on Mackenzie Sarabia's quinceañera day, her father does the only thing he can to calm her down. He tells her a story. Not just any story, but the story of the unforgettable and chaotic weekend of his sister's quince back in 1996 San Jose.
As Sergio begins to relive that wild memory, readers are pulled into a world of freestyle music, lowriders cruising King and Story, and cousins constantly talking trash but always having each other's backs. What starts as a nostalgic tale about a ruined party becomes a heartfelt journey about family, forgiveness, and finding your place in the legacy you inherit.
Through laughter, love, and a little bit of chaos, That Quince Weekend explores how one family and one unforgettable tradition connect generations across time. Warm, funny, and deeply authentic, Sergio Serna's debut novel celebrates Latino family life in all its messy, beautiful glory.
Perfect for fans of The House on Mango Street, The Wonder Years, and Coco, That Quince Weekend is a cinematic, heart-filled coming-of-age story about the ties that hold us together, even when everything falls apart.
