Award-winning author Francisco X. Stork revisits some of the themes
and ideas that made Marcelo in the Real World such an unforgettable
novel. Alberto's life isn't easy: He's an undocumented immigrant
from Mexico who lives with his sister's abusive boyfriend--but he'd
always accepted his place in the world. Until he starts hearing the
voice of a man called Captain America, a voice that wants him to
achieve more, no matter the cost. Grace has it all: She has a
supportive boyfriend, she's on track to be valedictorian, and she's
sure to go to the college of her dreams. Still, nothing feels right
to her any more after the divorce of her parents, and feels she
needs something more. When Alberto and Grace meet, they have an
immediate and electric connection. But when Alberto is present at
the scene of a terrible crime, he becomes a suspect. And with his
developing schizophrenia, he's not even sure he believes in his own
innocence. Can Grace find a way to prove Alberto's innocence to
himself and the world? This is a page-turning thriller and a
sensitive story about mental health, love, and community that will
appeal to anyone who has struggled with their place in the world,
from award-winning author Francisco X. Stork.
