Growing up in the Colombia of the 1980's and 1990's in a house where "what did you dream?" was asked in place of "how are you?" her world was laced with prophecy and violence. Her maternal grandfather, Nono, was a renowned curandero, a community healer gifted with the ability to talk to the dead, tell the future, treat the sick, and move the clouds. As a young girl, Rojas Contreras eavesdropped on her mother's fortune-telling business from the stairs and waited eagerly for the moments when Mami appeared in two places at once. She was accustomed to "letting the ghosts in." So when Ingrid, now living in the U.S., suffered a head injury in her 20's that left her with amnesia-an accident eerily similar to a fall that had put her mother in a coma at the age of 8, from which she woke with not just amnesia, but the ability to see ghosts--the family assumes "the secrets" have finally been passed down to the next generation. But as Ingrid recovers her memories, they don't come with supernatural abilities. Rather, she is consumed by a powerful urge to learn even more about her heritage than she knew before the accident. Spurred by a shared dream among Mami and her sisters, wherein Nono communicates that he is unable to rest peacefully in the afterlife, Ingrid joins her mother on a journey home to Colombia to disinter her grandfather's remains. With her mother as her unpredictable, stubborn and often hilarious guide, Ingrid traces her lineage back to her indigenous and Spanish roots, uncovering the violent and rigid colonial narrative that would eventually break her family into two camps: those who believe "the secrets" are a gift, and those who are convinced they are a curse. Interweaving family stories more enchanting than any novel, resurrected Colombian history, and her own deeply personal reckonings with the bounds of reality, Rojas Contreras writes her way through the incomprehensible and into her inheritance. The result is a luminous testament to the power of storytelling as a healing art and an invitation to embrace the extraordinary"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Rojas Contreras, Ingrid. 600 10 $a Rojas Contreras, Ingrid $x Family. 600 10 $a Rojas Contreras, Ingrid $x Travel $z Colombia. 650 0 $a Hispanic American authors $v Biography. 650 0 $a Colombian Americans $v Biography. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Biography. 650 0 $a Amnesiacs. 650 0 $a Grandfathers $z Colombia $v Biography. 650 0 $a Healers $z Colombia $v Biography. 650 6 $a EÌcrivains ameÌricains d'origine latino-ameÌricaine $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a MeÌres et filles $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a AmneÌsiques. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0237047 650 6 $a Grands-peÌres $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a GueÌrisseurs $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $z Colombie $0 (CaQQLa)201-0476621 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 7 $a Amnesiacs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01738021 650 7 $a Colombian Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868369 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Grandfathers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00946347 650 7 $a Healers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00952697 650 7 $a Hispanic American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957343 650 7 $a Mothers and daughters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026997 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 650 7 $a Hispanic American authors $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Colombian Americans $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Mother-daughter relationship $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Amnesia $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Grandfathers $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Healers $v Biography. $2 sears 651 0 $a Colombia $v Biography. 651 7 $a Colombia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205916 651 7 $a Colombia $v Biography. $2 sears 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Rojas Contreras, Ingrid. $t Man who could move clouds. $b First edition $d New York : Doubleday, 2022 $z 9780385546676 $w (DLC) 2021035818 941 $a 30 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011838.0 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430021907.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020039.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024247.0 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20240227010137.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20231206013730.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206011411.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032723.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024048.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230808010310.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629015048.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230503011752.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20230329011817.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20230214011307.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011019.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230104013849.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20221231011530.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20221221010303.0 952 $l SEPC074 $d 20221202012446.0 952 $l FTPA274 $d 20221130010150.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20221102012135.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20221007010142.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20220929012628.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220924010233.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220914010507.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220909011432.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220903010452.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20220804030725.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804025053.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220802014118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A1BB7B6122B11EDB028045E3CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
