Arepas and Gravy

What happens when a Georgia Peach marries a Venezuelan hombre? Love, culture shock, and some pretty damn spectacular fights.

Cracker is a freelance writer and fiction author fueled by gin and tonic.

Señor is a kickass journalist for a major news network who always seems to get free stuff at restaurants.

Arepas and Gravy is Cracker's attempt to make sense of what on earth she got herself into marrying a Latino (and his family, and his friends, and his culture).

Supporting Cast

Coffee is an artist, a business owner, and a tiny Colombian. Upon first meeting Cracker, Coffee told her: “You should visit Colombia! You probably won’t get kidnapped."

Frito is Señor’s best friend since childhood, when they grew up together in Venezuela. Confusingly, Frito is actually Puerto Rican and extremely proud of that heritage. He’s also (hee!) Mr. Coffee.
