About this ebook
A young girl from New York finds herself thrust into a vibrant world she never knew existed.
“Ostow’s story may be light-hearted, but she delves deeply into the feelings of [her] heroine and this newfound extended family.”—Publishers Weekly
Half Jewish. Half Puerto-Rican. All confused.
Emily is a Jewish girl from the suburbs of New York, end of story. Her mother has family in Puerto Rico that Emily has never been in contact with. However, she’s forced to go to the Caribbean for her grandmother’s funeral. Pampered Emily wants nothing to do with her Puerto Rican family—until a very special person shows her that uncovering her roots is like discovering a secret part of her own heart.
