Patricia Engel is the author of Infinite Country, a New York Times Bestseller, Reese’s Book Club pick, Esquire Book Club and Book of the Month Club pick, Indie Next pick, Amazon Best Book of the Month, and more. And every dream pursued bears the weight of a dream deferred. A family for whom every triumph is stitched with regret. Infinite Country is the story of two countries and one mixed-status family. After two more children born on American soil, a series of decisions and indecisions leads to the family splintering and at a great cost to all their lives since. Then they leave Columbia with their first child for the safety of America. Talia’s parents fall in love in a market stall as teenagers against a backdrop of civil war and social unrest.

How this family came to occupy two different countries, two different worlds, comes into focus like twists of a kaleidoscope. If she misses her flight, she might also miss her chance to finally be reunited with her family in the north. She urgently needs to get out and get back home to Bogotá, where her father and a plane ticket to the United States are waiting for her. Talia is being held at a correctional facility for adolescent girls in the forested mountains of Colombia after committing an impulsive act of violence that may or may not have been warranted.
