Blurb Notes:
"Bettina Restrepo's first novel is a vivid and unsparing look at the life of an illegal teenage girl who comes to the U.S. from Mexico in search of her father. Faith, family, and friendship are all features of this unforgettable individual life, which is emblematic of so many others that are too seldom examined in novels for teens. An importan novel that deserves a wide readership." - Michael Cart
