Cervantes: The Anatomy of Magic
Lily Estrada is a successful OB-GYN in Los Angeles. That is, until an incident in the operating room goes tragically wrong. On leave while the incident is under review, she travels to her childhood home in La Ventana, Mexico. Only when she arrives, she senses things are not as they should be. Lily comes from a long line of women with magical gifts. And upon returning home, Lily realizes that something is wrong with her magic. In her attempt to find a solution, she encounters her old boyfriend, Sam – the one that got away. As she confronts her past, she realizes why no one else has come close to capturing her heart the way he did all those years ago. And if she wants to restore her magic, she’ll have to make herself vulnerable to those feelings all over again. The Anatomy of Magic by J. C. Cervantes is a magical realism, women’s fiction novel that explores how one’s worst heartbreak contributes to the strongest parts of who they become – and how confronting that same heartbreak can help put it back together.
