Publisher's Summary
From the beloved New York Times best-selling author of The Language
of Flowers comes her much-anticipated new novel about young love, hard
choices, and hope against all odds.
For 14 years Letty Espinosa has worked three jobs around San Francisco
to make ends meet while her mother raised her children - Alex, now 15,
and Luna, six - in their tiny apartment on a forgotten spit of wetlands
near the bay. But now Letty's parents are returning to Mexico, and Letty
must step up and become a mother for the first time in her life.
Navigating this new terrain is challenging for Letty, especially as
Luna desperately misses her grandparents, and Alex, who is falling in
love with a classmate, is unwilling to give his mother a chance. Letty
comes up with a plan to help the family escape the dangerous neighborhood
and heartbreaking injustice that have marked their lives, but one wrong
move could jeopardize everything she's worked for and her family's fragile
hopes for the future.
Vanessa Diffenbaugh blends gorgeous prose with compelling themes of
motherhood, undocumented immigration, and the American dream in a powerful
and prescient story about family.
