商品簡介
Veronica immigrates to the US in the 1920s, following a poet who visits her hometown in Mexico. Young but determined, Veronica escapes abuse and poverty finding community in railroad towns in Utah's west desert. Nearly seventy years later, her great nephew Chuy (Jesus) Chavez immigrates with his family. The high-spirited Chuy and his great aunt Veronica do not see eye to eye when they first meet each other, but soon must become each other's only family when Chuy's mom and dad are sent back to Mexico. Dual narratives chronicle both journeys in the US as this unique pair shows how family is family. This novel is funny, heartfelt, and heartbreaking all in one, and the reader will cheer for Chuy and Veronica as they aim to not only get Chuy on a famous reality TV show but for him to win it to bring his family back together.
