"It’s rare for stories about childhood, friendship, the elderly, marriage, family secrets, and loneliness and longing to be told with quiet beauty and grace, but the stories in On the Way accomplish just that. Cyn Vargas approaches her characters with a delicate and loving hand, always honest, sometimes angry, but never judgmental. Just like how we approach the people we love—whether we’re bound to them by blood or by choice.
—Mark Protosevich, screenwriter, I Am Legend, Oldboy, and The Cell
