520    "Reminiscent of Gabriela Garcia's Of Women and Salt, Leah 
       Franqui brings us an engrossing, deeply personal novel 
       with a mystery at its heart as a daughter returns to 
       Puerto Rico to search for her troubled father, who has 
       gone missing after Hurricane Maria"--|cProvided by 
       publisher. 
520    From the outside, Elena Vega's life appears to be an easy 
       one: the only child of two professional parents, private 
       school, NYU. But her twenties are aimless and lacking in 
       connection. Something has always been amiss in her life: 
       her father, the brilliant but deeply troubled Santiago 
       Vega. Born in rural Puerto Rico, Santiago arrived in New 
       York as a small child. His harsh, mercurial father 
       returned to the island, leaving Santiago to be raised by 
       his mentally ill mother and his formidable grandmother. An
       outstanding student, he followed scholarships to Stanford,
       then Yale Law, marrying Elena's mother along the way. 
       Santiago is the shining star of his migrant family--the 
       one who made it out and struck it rich. But he is a 
       haunted man, plagued by trauma, bipolar disorder, and 
       alcoholism. He's lost contact with Elena over the years 
       and 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.
