The Ghost and the Dreamer

A sapphic Cuban American supernatural dramedy where ghosts, destiny, and love collide.

Amelia García is an eclectic diva in every sense of the word: an actress, singer, and dancer whose life is filled with stage lights, family chaos, and the occasional ghost offering unsolicited advice. Carmen Brown is a steadfast Coast Guard member navigating prophetic dreams, hidden love, and the fierce responsibility of protecting her adopted family. When their worlds crash together in 2005 Florida, the result is a tender, funny, and deeply emotional love story shaped by spirits, secrets, and the unbreakable bonds of a Cuban American family.

From eccentric relatives who refuse to stay quiet (even from the afterlife) to the everyday battles of queer love and chosen family, The Ghost and the Dreamer blends humor, heart, and magical realism into a story about healing, courage, and the kind of love that defies both the living and the dead. Set in the universe of Jhackie and the Galipotes, this novel expands the González García Chronicles with warmth, supernatural charm, and late stage thriller stakes.
