For years, Anita Flores carried shame: She was a second-generation half-Peruvian who barely spoke Spanish. She pretended she didn\\u2019t care; she subtly avoided her paternal family in Lima. Then, her father was diagnosed with dementia.

As her dad\\u2019s memory started to falter, Anita would see him light up when she made the effort to speak in his first language. She tells the story of reassessing her relationship with her father, with her extended family, and with the language that kept them apart\\u2014and had the potential to bring them together.
