Thank you NetGalley for the e-ARC of Magical Realism for Non-Believers by Anika Fajardo. This was a wonderful memoir about Anika Farjado's journey to try to understand why her parents split up when she was a young child and why her father chose to stay in Columbia. Taught in school that a family has a father and mother, Anika feels compelled to learn about the father that has been missing from her life. This story held my interest throughout. Anika went through family ups and downs and in the end she realized that family is what you make of it. She was thankful for hers. Recommend this book.
