Search Party, Winner of the Eliud Martínez Prize from Inlandia Instituteby René Solivan Reminiscent of Ruben Degollado's The Family Izquierdo and most certainly a nod to Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night, this novel told in alternating perspectives is a stellar debut. Search Party is a novel of departure.

Search Party, Winner of the Eliud Martínez Prize from Inlandia Instituteby René Solivan Reminiscent of Ruben Degollado's The Family Izquierdo and most certainly a nod to Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night, this novel told in alternating perspectives is a stellar debut. Search Party is a novel of departure. It asks us to think about the gauzy, dreamy world we are all tempted to look for and why we might dare go hunting for the place that holds our hopes, our secrets, and our joys. -Manuel Muñoz, author of The Consequences This book is so sad and I love it. In Search Party, we meet a family who is holding on to each other by a thread but mostly by blood. A family who continues to get pulled back into a chaotic and painful orbit around their mother, a woman who never wanted a family and is always leaving them. This book asks the question, "What happens when women don't want a family but are forced to have one?" The answer, if it offers any, is uncomfortable and multilayered. -Isabel Quintero, Eliud Martínez Prize judge and author of Gabi, a Girl in Pieces About Search Party Meet the motley cast of family members: Vinita, the restless mother who has spent her life abandoning her family to pursue her dream of being in the movies; Luis, the son who can't hold down a job but can talk to dead people; his sister Ivonne who-after five marriages to rich men-has nothing to show for it but money and a son who can't stand her; their sister Olivia, the writer struggling to piece together the family's history, never sure if she's writing a memoir or not; as well as an extended family dealing with their own inadequacies and disappointments. Search Party emerges as a vibrant portrait of a Puerto Rican family that renders the intricate workings of the heart.
