Each year the three Reyes' families drive from Chicago via Route 66 to Mexico City. From the back seat of her father's red station wagon, Lala can watch their boisterous caravan progress through the States and cross the border to Mexico. Awaiting Lala there is a further intriguing journey through her family's legends, secrets and history, and the puzzle as to why her Awful Grandmother's special treasure - her handmade caramelo shawl - was left unfinished.
