Description
In Mexico, a young girl living under a boy’s disguise travels toward Monterrey with a single-minded goal: to learn the demanding craft of glassblowing. As she enters a world of heat, precision, and apprenticeship, her determination is tested by the pressures of secrecy and the expectations placed on her. Along the way, she forms relationships that challenge her assumptions and nudges her toward a deeper understanding of who she is beyond her disguise. Blending coming-of-age discovery with vivid cultural detail, this story explores identity, courage, and the transformative power of mastering a craft—written in a clear, accessible style that brings both emotion and atmosphere to the forefront.
