Summary:

"A sweeping, mystical, intergenerational novel about mothers, daughters, and unsettled pasts, Candelaria is a story of predetermined futures and love that eats us alive"-- Provided by publisher.

Bianca, the brainy archaeologist, had to forfeit her life's work in Guatemala after her advisor seduced and deserted her. Paola, missing for over a decade, resurfaces in Boston as a brainwashed wellness cultist named Zoe. And Candy, the youngest, is a recovering addict who finds herself pregnant by a man she's not even sure ever existed. None of this concerns Candelaria until a cataclysmic earthquake hits Boston. Now she must traverse the crumbling city to reach the Watertown Mall Old Country Buffet— for a reason she cannot disclose— battling strange entities and her own strange past to save her granddaughters. And possibly the world. -- adapted from jacket
