This beautifully written and poignant story will likely appeal to fans of One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia. Yoli is an authentic and relatable narrator whose bravery will capture the hearts of middle grade readers. A historical fiction novel that deftly tackles faith, family relationships, and daily life among social upheaval.
School Library Journal

[Yoli s] a deeply faithful and introspective character, someone whose strong voice and inner world reveal how her belief in God offers both solace and struggle. . . . A resonant story that beautifully captures the complexities of faith, family, and growing up during turbulent times.
