At twelve, Gena buried grandmother and boarded a plane to a country she'd never seen, carrying nothing but a gold cross, a recipe for adobo and a stranger's promise to care for her.
What followed was a life built from fragments: a guardian aunt in Spain, a boy who laughed at her on a flight, a mother who reappeared after twenty years, and a love that refused to stay on one continent. Through engineering exams and midnight tears, Gena learned that home is not where you began - it's who chooses to keep you. My Life In Chapter is a testament to the families we inherit and the ones we build, brick by stubborn brick, until the house finally holds.
