A trip to Spain to visit a woman’s sister also serves as a relationship test. Evolving political and socioeconomic forces create an opportunity for a family to reunite,
while at the same time close the doors on a budding relationship. In this story spanning from Chicago, Madrid, and Bilbao, geopolitics serve as the enemy of romance. This standalone piece is an excerpt from a novel in progress.
