Description
Costa Rica, 1968. A fire raged at the American Fruit Company's banana plantation, destroying evidence of a massive cover-up and forever changing the lives of Teresa Cepeda Valverde and her family. Twenty-seven years later, Teresa and her daughter Lyra are still grappling with the aftermath. Lyra seeks answers about her family's fate that fateful night, while Teresa is haunted by a missing husband and the bitter ghost of her mother. As they try to forgive what they do not yet understand, a mystery at the heart of their family's rupture unfolds. A story of love, loss, and redemption, Where There Was Fire weaves together ancestral spirits, omens, and the forces of nature in a powerful exploration of the human experience.
