Her job as a maid, plus a little boozy help from her grandma, have gotten the Ortiz Family only so far.

Wanderlust ensues!It is 2002, and for Valeria, the perfect year to travel to the most beautiful and mysterious parts of Spain, tracing her father’s roots.

It is the journey Valeria must make to feel safe, understand her birthright, and find true love – not just for her, but for everyone she meets in this lighthearted and funny romance.
