ABOUT THE BOOK
What if your family’s greatest legend wasn’t a lie—but only part of the truth?
Before he dies, Samuel leaves his granddaughters, Nora and Sofia, a summer they will never forget: a trail of clues across the hidden coves, whitewashed villages, and turquoise waters of Ibiza and Formentera, guiding them to discover who he really was—and why the sea meant everything to him.
As the cousins follow the path he left behind, they uncover conflicting stories, long-held family secrets, and their own inner struggles. Some truths don’t just change the past… they can transform who we are.
Roots in the Sand is a luminous, heartfelt novel about memory and second chances, blending the beauty of the Mediterranean with emotional depth, neurodiversity, and personal growth.
For readers who love sun-soaked summers, heartfelt journeys, and stories that linger long after the last page, this novel will captivate you.
First written in Spanish as Olivas en la arena, available in its original form.
