From the acclaimed author of Chasing the Sun comes a new novel about immigration and the depths to which one Mexican American family will go for forgiveness and redemption.
When Martin\'s teenage nephew crosses the Mexican border and takes refuge in Isabel and Martin\'s home, questions about past and future homes, borders, and belonging arise that may finally lead to forgiveness--and alter all their lives forever..
Through his visits, Isabel gains insight into not just the truth about his disappearance and her husband\'s childhood but also the ways grief can eat away at love.
Every year Isabel listens, but to the aggrieved Martin and Elda, Omar\'s spirit remains invisible.
Isabel and Martin settle into married life in a Texas border town, and Omar returns each year on the celebratory Day of the Dead.
So Omar asks Isabel for the impossible: persuade Omar\'s family--especially his wife, Elda--to let him redeem himself.
Her husband, Martin, still unforgiving for having been abandoned by his father years ago, confesses that he never knew the old man had died.
The first time Isabel meets her father-in-law, Omar, he\'s already dead--an apparition appearing uninvited on her wedding day.
