*Finished 68,000-word YA novel

​

16-year-old Gabriela’s family is killed under tragic circumstances and Gaby is forced to leave her home in the states to move in with her grandma. All Gaby knows about the man responsible is that he is in the U.S. illegally, and that he’s in jail for what he did. What she doesn’t know is that she is headed straight for the city he calls home in Mexico. 

 

Despite drowning in feelings of hatred, Gaby grows to embrace Mexico’s colorful culture and unforgettable traditions, amidst the problems she sees that motivate people to leave their country for the dreams and the promise of another. When this leads Gaby to begin seeking out the identity of her family’s killer, an unexpected discovery threatens to send her over the edge for good. Gaby must find the courage to forgive, or risk losing her new-found loved ones, and her place in life all over again.
