YA
After Border Patrol leaves six-year-old Pablo at her home, sixteen-year-old Sophie and her aunt take Pablo to rural Mexico to visit his extended family. The trip invites shy Sophie to find courage and revel in simple pleasures. Resau excels in gently explicating profound and fragile emotions. The novel is an unconventional portrait of love, built on determination and perseverance.
