The author continues her journey through her beloved Colombia with this companion book to Twice Colombia. With a dream to return there on a permanent basis, she watches that dream slowly fade as the housing market in the US tanks, a destructive hurricane rolls in, and efforts to sell her house are unsuccessful.
For the first time since her son's tragic death, she recalls his memory in detail and allows herself to grieve again. As she details some painful experiences, she also remembers the joy and hope his challenging adoption in Colombia brought her. She travels back to the country several times - for a family wedding, a class reunion at Colegio Bolvar and the book launch for Dos Veces en Colombia. The food, the music, the people, and the majestic Andes never loosen their grip on her.
When she accepts that her relationship with Colombia has simply taken a different twist, she opens herself to possibilities of new adventures. She accepts that old dreams sometimes have to be replaced with new dreams, but there will never be any doubt that her love affair with Colombia will always hold that special place in her heart as her first love.
