In a novel-in-verse that brims with grief and love, National Book
Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Acevedo
writes about the devastation of loss, the difficulty of forgiveness,
and the bittersweet bonds that shape our lives.
Camino Rios lives
for the summers when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic.
But this time, on the day when his plane is supposed to land, Camino
arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying people…
In New York City,
Yahaira Rios is called to the principal’s office, where her mother
is waiting to tell her that her father, her hero, has died in a plane
crash.
Separated by
distance—and Papi’s secrets—the two girls are forced to face a
new reality in which their father is dead and their lives are forever
altered.
And then, when it
seems like they’ve lost everything of their father, they learn of
each other.
