A Ingrid Rojas Contreras la magia le corre por las venas. No era una ninÌa faÌcil de sorprender: crecioÌ en medio de la violencia poliÌtica de los anÌos ochenta y noventa en Colombia, en una casa siempre atestada de gente que veniÌa a que su madre le leyera el futuro. Su abuelo materno, Nono, era un curandero de renombre, dotado de lo que la familia llamaba "los secretos": el poder de hablar con los muertos, predecir el futuro, tratar a los enfermos y mover las nubes. La madre de Ingrid, la primera mujer en heredar los secretos, era igualmente poderosa. Mami disfrutaba su habilidad de aparecer en dos lugares a la vez, y era capaz de expulsar al maÌs terco de los espiÌritus usando apenas un vaso de agua. 520 $a "For Ingrid Rojas Contreras, magic runs in the family. Growing up in the Colombia of the 1980s and 1990s 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 20s 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. 651 0 $a Colombia $v Biography. 650 6 $a EÌcrivains ameÌricains d'origine latino-ameÌricaine $v Biographies. 650 6 $a MeÌres et filles $v Biographies. 650 6 $a AmneÌsiques. 650 6 $a Grands-peÌres $v Biographies. 650 6 $a GueÌrisseurs $z Colombie $v Biographies. 650 7 $a Autores hispanoamericanos $v BiografiÌa. $2 bidex 650 7 $a Madres e hijas $v BiografiÌa. $2 bidex 650 7 $a Abuelos (Hombres) $z Colombia $v BiografiÌa. $2 bidex 650 7 $a Curanderos $z Colombia $v BiografiÌa. $2 bidex 651 7 $a Colombia $v BiografiÌa. $2 bidex 650 7 $a Escritores colombianos $v BiografiÌas. $2 embne 650 7 $a Madres e hijas $v BiografiÌas. $2 embne 650 7 $a Abuelos $z Colombia $v BiografiÌas. $2 embne 650 7 $a Curanderos $z Colombia $v BiografiÌas. $2 embne 650 7 $a Amnesiacs $2 fast 650 7 $a Colombian Americans $2 fast 650 7 $a Families $2 fast 650 7 $a Grandfathers $2 fast 650 7 $a Healers $2 fast 650 7 $a Hispanic American authors $2 fast 650 7 $a Mothers and daughters $2 fast 650 7 $a Travel $2 fast 651 7 $a Colombia $2 fast 600 17 $a Rojas Contreras, Ingrid $x Familia. $2 qlsp 600 17 $a Rojas Contreras, Ingrid $x Viaje $z Colombia . $2 qlsp 650 7 $a Autores hispanoestadounidenses $v BiografiÌa. $2 qlsp 650 7 $a Colombianos americanos $v BiografiÌa. $2 qlsp 650 7 $a Madres e hijas $v BiografiÌa. $2 qlsp 650 7 $a Abuelos (Hombres) $z Colombia $v BiografiÌa. $2 qlsp 650 7 $a Curanderos $z Colombia $v BiografiÌa. $2 qlsp 651 7 $a Colombia $v BiografiÌa. $2 qlsp 655 0 $a Spanish language materials. 655 7 $a autobiographies (literary works) $2 aat 655 7 $a AutobiografiÌas. $2 bidex 655 7 $a Autobiographies $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Guhl, Mercedes, $e translator. 941 $a 4 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125010749.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20231202011225.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231114010615.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20231108010511.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5EE8135A627B11EE9D8B625031ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
