From the acclaimed writer of Chasing the Sunlight comes a fresh book about immigration and the depths to which one Mexican American family will go for forgiveness and redemption. The very first time Isabel complies with her father-in-law, Omar, he's already lifeless - an apparition showing up uninvited on her big day. Her spouse, Martin, still unforgiving for having been deserted by his daddy years back, confesses that he never knew the old man got died. So Omar asks Isabel for the impossible: persuade Omar's family - especially his partner, Elda - to let him redeem himself. Isabel and Martin settle into married life in a Texas boundary town, and Omar returns every year on the celebratory Day of the Dead. Each year Isabel listens, but to the aggrieved Martin and Elda, Omar's nature remains invisible. Through his trips, Isabel gains insight into not simply the truth about his disappearance and her husband's years as a child but also the ways grief can eat away at love. When Martin's teenage nephew crosses the Mexican boundary and takes refuge in Isabel and Martin's home, questions about past and future homes, borders, and belonging arise that could finally lead to forgiveness - and change all their lives forever.
