Miguel Guzman’s parents have just gotten divorced and he’s not so sure he’ll ever be a part of a family again. To make things worse, his mother has just moved Miguel and his little sister, Juanita, to a Vermont farming village where all of his classmates are white and have “normal” last names. He’s terrified that his Dominican aunt, Tía Lola, will turn the town upside down with her flamboyant clothes, enthusiastic manners and stubborn Spanish. But, with Tía Lola’s help, Miguel learns that life goes on after tragic things happen and that people are more accepting than he thinks.

How Tía Lola Came to Visit Stay is a charming story about a little boy searching for meaning after his parents' divorce makes his world falls apart. Lola’s vibrancy and love teach him valuable lessons about family and community.
