Violeta Sanoguera had always done what she was told. She left the man she loved in Colombia in pursuit of a better life for herself and because her mother and grandmother didn't approve of him. Chasing dreams of education and art in New York City, and with a new love, twenty-eight-year-old Violeta establishes a new life for herself, on her terms. But when her grandmother suddenly dies, everything changes. After years of being on her own in NYC, Violeta finds herself on a plane back to Colombia, accompanied at all times by the ghost of her grandmother who is sending her messages and signs, to find she is the heir of the failing family restaurant, the very one Abuela told her to run from in the first place. The journey leads her to rediscover her home, her grandmother, and even the flame of an old love. 650 0 $a Women $z Barranquilla $z Barranquilla $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grandmothers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Restaurants $z Barranquilla $z Barranquilla $x Family $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Colombian Americans $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Barranquilla (Colombia) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ghost stories. 650 7 $a Colombian Americans $v Fiction. $2 sears. 650 7 $a Hispanic American women $v Fiction. $2 sears. 650 7 $a Ghost stories. $2 sears. 650 7 $a Grandmothers $v Fiction. $2 sears. 650 7 $a Restaurants $v Fiction. $2 sears. 655 0 $a Magic realist fiction. 655 7 $a ghost stories. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300254823. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Ghost stories. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240716012727.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4452C626433911EF824246BD21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
