This story follows a young girl who suffered a tragic and debilitating accident. Her parents would do anything for her, so they move to the US to seek better care and education in hopes of having her return to who she was. Here we meet other Latinx folks in the neighbors, and the book alternates between telling Maribel’s story and the story of how the neighbors came to be in Delaware.
It’s a story about the hardships of being transplanted to a new country, of struggling to make ends meet, of persecution and of being willing to do anything for those you love.
