According to Mayan tradition, if you whisper your troubles to the Worry Dolls, they will do the worrying instead of youâtherefore, it follows that Worry Dolls are the keepers of a great many secrets . . .
On the eve of the end of the worldâaccording to the Mayan calendarâMari Guarez Roselli's secrets are being unraveled by her daughter, Lu.
Lu's worry dolls are at-capacity as she tries to outrun the ghosts from her pastâincluding loved ones stolen on 9/11âby traveling through her mother's homeland of Guatemala, to discover the painful reasons behind her own dysfunctional childhood, and why she must trust in the magic of the legend.
