"For Ingrid Rojas Contreras, magic runs in the family.

"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"
