Notes:

From the outside, Elena Vega’s life in New York City appears to be an easy one, but her twenties are aimless and and she's lost contact with her brilliant but deeply troubled father, Santiago Vega. Born in rural Puerto Rico, Santiago was the shining star of his migrant family, but he is a haunted man, plagued by trauma, bipolar disorder, and alcoholism. He returned to San Juan to wrestle his demons alone. Then Hurricane Maria strikes, and Santiago vanishes. Desperate to know what happened to the father she once adored, Elena returns to Puerto Rico, a place she loved as a child but hasn’t seen in years. There she must unravel the truth about who her father is, crisscrossing the storm-swept island and reaching deep into his family tree to find relatives she’s never met, each of whom seems to possess a clue about Santiago’s fate.
