And soon, Lucía's parents make the heart-wrenching decision to send her and her little brother to the United States—on their own.</p> <p>Suddenly plunked down in Nebraska with well-meaning strangers, Lucía struggles to adapt to a new country, a new language, a new way of life. But what of her old life? Will she <i>ever</i> see her home or her parents again? And if she does, will she still be the same girl...</p>. Media Type: eBook. Best Fiction for Young Adults.
