Haitian teen Fabiola
Toussaint is forced to continue the journey to Detroit, from Haiti alone after
her mother is detained. Upon her arrival, she is greeted by a family who aren't
as warm as the family she dreamed of. Now Fabiola must assimilate herself into
a new school and culture, all without having her mother with her. To make
matters worse Fabiola’s aunt and cousins all have secrets that may just end in
disaster.
An intriguing story about
immigrating to the United States. Fabiola’s journey is made easier by the fact
that she was born in the United States. Readers will still feel what many
people are going through today through her story. Not all of the characters are
likable but those that aren’t shouldn’t really be liked to begin with.
