Told in vivid prose, it is a warm, hopeful story about ambition, motherhood and finding your own voice..

Acevedo's poetic verse gives the story raw intensity, and the novel was a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book and Kirkus Prize finalist.. Together, these novels showcase Acevedo's range as both prose stylist and poet, and her commitment to telling nuanced, culturally authentic stories about young Afro-Latina women..
