Since the death of both of her parents, Alexandra Romero’s grandmother from Santa Fe, New Mexico, has been her sole support system. But that treasured relationship comes to an abrupt end.Alexandra begins her career in broadcasting, determined to reach the top of her field, and becomes too busy for visits home. Gran often talks of the rich and satisfying life Alexandra could find in the city of her birth-one that would be filled with a support system of people who knew her parents and care deeply about her. Soon it becomes too late. Gran dies, and Alexandra makes her first return trip to New Mexico for the memorial service. Keeping Gran’s home and living in Santa Fe is not an option because her career is in New York City, as is her fiancé, Frank Reynolds. Her quick trip extends into several weeks, and Alexandra learns that her Catholic faith and heritage are as important as any big city career.Only when she meets the people in Gran’s life and reads her journals does Alexandra realize what she’s missed. Through the magic of the Land of Enchantment and a small miracle, Gran’s wishes may finally be fulfilled.
