I wasn't really sure what to expect when I picked this up but I'm very happy that I did. Talia, Mauro and Elena's youngest daughter, escapes the juvenile facility she's being held at to catch her flight to the U.S. to reunite with her mother and two other siblings. I thought that's just the plot but it's not. It's so much more. The story is told from the family members' perspectives. We get to learn about the family's past and present sacrifices, fears, and struggles living in the U.S. as immigrants. It's a short read but it's very powerful and relevant.
