Ramon’s story is interwoven with his aunt’s as she—a spirit—gifts him her memories through his dreams, depending on him to figure out what happened to her. The story of their family is one about forgiveness, about fighting for what you believe in, and about recognizing just how much our lives are intertwined with those around us.

This took me a few chapters to get into the story, but then, I totally fell in. I really liked this one. Daniel Jose Older has a way with words, and there was so much to this narrative. It's the best kind of book, the kind of book that leaves you wanting to know more. Very highly recommended!

This book was hard to get through. There were moments where it was excellent and moments where I put it down for a while.
