An evocative multigenerational Cuban-American family story of revolution, loss, violence, and family bonds

Marisol vanished during the Cuban Revolution, disappearing with hardly a trace. Now, shaped by atrocities long-forgotten, her tenacious spirit visits her nephew, Ramn, in modern-day New Jersey. Her hope: that her presence will prompt him to unearth their painful family history.

Ramn launches a haphazard investigation into the story of his ancestor, unaware of the forces driving him on his search. Along the way, he falls in love, faces a run-in with a murderous gangster, and uncovers the lives of the lost saints who helped Marisol during her imprisonment.

Uplifting and evocative,The Book of Lost Saintsis a haunting meditation on family, forgiveness, and the violent struggle to be free.
