Description
When a plane crash claims their father’s life, sixteen-year-old Camino in the Dominican Republic and Yahaira in New York are brought together by a devastating secret: they are sisters who never knew the other existed. As they confront grief, betrayal, and the complicated legacy of a man who lived two separate lives, each girl must reconsider her hopes for the future and what family truly means. Told in vivid, lyrical verse from both perspectives, the novel explores forgiveness, identity, colorism, cultural divides, first love, and the bonds forged through loss. Elizabeth Acevedo’s emotionally resonant storytelling gives each sister a distinct voice in this powerful portrait of sisterhood and healing.
