Charlotte “Charlie” Hastings never missed her mother. But when her late father visits her in a dream and reveals the letters her mother had written to him over the years, she begins yearning for a connection she never desired to make. Reeling from a mix of emotions, she embarks on a soul-searching cross-country journey to California to find the mother she thought she never needed. Anna Gomez, an award-winning Asian American author brings us along on this emotional trip guided by letters left behind by her late father, unraveling her family's past and confronting the complexities of a mother-daughter relationship shaped by distance. Along for the ride: a mysteriously charming hitchhiker who challenges her to open her heart in ways she never expected. Gomez has worked in development for film/TV and featured in People, Variety, and Publishers Weekly.
