In this deeply heartfelt story about what it takes to build a new
life, the death of her abuela brings a young woman home, where she
must face the past in order to move forward and build a life
that’s truly her own. Ten years after she immigrated to the
States, twenty-eight-year-old Vi goes home to Barranquilla,
Colombia, at the news of her grandmother’s death. Abuela was the
one who insisted Vi leave in the first place, but now Vi learns
she’s inherited Caminito, their failing family restaurant. Vi
can’t understand Abuela’s intentions, but she resolves to honor
those final wishes and stay—long enough, at least, to save
Caminito. Her life in New York with a serious boyfriend and
bourgeoning career is stable enough to wait for her return. But the
longer Vi is home, the more she struggles with what that word
means. Abuela’s ghost is never far, reminding her of the choices
she’s made and the ones that lie ahead. As she reconnects with
her family, community, and her first love, Vi will have to decide
if she truly did leave for her own good all those years ago…and
whether this time she should stay.
