Jacinta is the daughter of undocumented Mexican immigrants, and in her quest to gain a local celebrity as her mentor, she begins to devalue her own family and her culture--until the unthinkable happens. Jacinta's conflicting jealousy, shame, and pride make her deeply relatable in a story that successfully explores the complex emotional issues surrounding privilege, race, class, and clashing cultures.
