Sonia Rodriguez was born in the United States, but her parents are
Mexican immigrants who came to California before she was born. Her
father has three Social Security numbers, her mother is pregnant
(again), and neither of them speaks English. Sonia's mother spends
most of her time in bed, watching soap operas, and letting Sonia
clean up after her brothers. Sonia's father works dutifully to
support his family, but he knows that his daughter's dreams are
bigger than making tamales for family get-togethers. When Sonia
attempts to put school work before her familia, her mother decides
that it's time for Sonia to visit her grandmother in Mexico to
learn "the ways of the old world." While in Mexico, Sonia gets to
know her wise grandmother and her cousin Maria, who teach her that
while familia is important, the most important thing is to follow
your heart. Sonia returns to the States determined to succeed in
school, but the birth of her new twin siblings, inappropriate
advances from her drunk uncle (Drunkle), and a forbidden
relationship with an El Salvadorian boy push school to the back
burner. If only Sonia can find the time to cook dinner, secretly
meet with her boyfriend, avoid her Drunkle, AND finish her
homework, she just might be able to graduate from high school. . .
