Afterlife

Antonia Vega has just retired from her job as a college professor, and her husband has suddenly and unexpectedly died. Her beloved sister, an integral part of the four who form a united and tempestuous sisterhood, is missing. An undocumented immigrant has nowhere to go, and needs Antonia's help. Antonia is used to relying on her steady husband and the quotes from literature she's taught her entire life, but now she is finding she may need to learn some other ways to cope.

A novel full of all the complexities life brings to us—the complex people, the complex situations. It offers no easy answers, no quick solutions, and yet is filled with deep wisdom.
