Sonia's entire village believes she has a gift, but it's only in
leaving home that she finds out who she truly is. A compelling tale
from a rich new voice in young adult fiction.
Sixteen-year-old Sonia Ocampo was born on the night of the worst
storm Tres Montes had ever seen. And when the winds mercifully
stopped, an unshakable belief in the girl's protective powers
began. All her life, Sonia has been asked to pray for sick mothers
or missing sons, as worried parents and friends press silver
milagros in her hands. Sonia knows she has no special powers, but
how can she disappoint those who look to her for solace? Still, her
conscience is heavy, so when she gets a chance to travel to the
city and work in the home of a wealthy woman, she seizes it. At
first, Sonia feels freedom in being treated like all the other
girls. But when news arrives that her beloved brother has
disappeared while looking for work, she learns to her sorrow that
she can never truly leave the past or her family behind. With
deeply realized characters, a keen sense of place, a hint of
magical realism, and a flush of young romance, Meg Medina tells the
tale of a strongwilled, warmhearted girl who dares to face life's
harsh truths as she finds her real power.
