When Meg was a little girl, Abuela Mara predicted she would travel to the moon. Now she's an archaeologist digging up Mayan ruins in Belize while trying to keep her own past buried beneath hard work and professional responsibility. It isn't working. The summer of 2022 seems destined to push all of Meg's buttons-her deep-seated aversion to marijuana and guns and the unwanted presence of a boy who reminds her of a certain horrific summer in Mexico. Digging deeper only unearths more questions. And then her husband buys a lottery ticket for the first tourist flight to the moon. What Meg doesn't want to know may yet be her redemption.
