Aprašymas

GOLD MEDAL in Best Popular Fiction--International Latino Book Awards

For fans of Rebecca Serle and Elizabeth Acevedo, a magically insightful novel about a woman's journey to discover her roots and what it means to carry our ancestors with us.

Dolores Moore's dead relatives refuse to stay quiet. They trail after her like a Greek chorus with no respect for personal boundaries, filling her crumbling Victorian with unsolicited advice, family gossip, and increasingly urgent opinions about her return to Colombia--the birthplace she barely remembers.

Dorrie would rather stay in Minneapolis, where the problems are manageable: an ex she hasn't forgotten, a cartography career that's evaporated overnight, a creaky inherited house, and two needy orange cats. But when a cryptic hand-drawn map surfaces and an old flame offers to watch the house, the voices leave her no choice.

So begins a journey to Colombia guided by photographs of her mother, half-remembered stories about her father, and a little bit of magic as Dorrie searches for the truth about where she came from--and what's been calling her to her rightful place.
