Roots of Agave and Rebellion

About this book

Fleeing a chaotic life and a messy breakup in Mexico City, twenty-three-year-old Sofia Reyes returns to her family's crumbling hacienda in the Oaxaca Valley after her father's death. There, she encounters her stoic grandmother, Abuela Inés, who guards a four-hundred-year-old forbidden mezcal recipe infused with Zapotec hallucinogens. To save the family legacy from a ruthless developer, Sofia must master an ancient distillation rite. As she delves into the process, she experiences visceral visions of her ancestors, including a sixteenth-century priestess and a nineteenth-century smuggler. Alongside Lía, a passionate local ceramicist, Sofia embarks on a journey of self-discovery, confronting family secrets, embracing her heritage, and fighting to protect her ancestral home.
