When fifteen-year-old Cuban American Mariana Ruiz's father runs for
president, Mari starts to see him with new eyes. A novel about
waking up and standing up, and what happens when you stop seeing
your dad as your hero--while the whole country is watching. In this
authentic, humorous, and gorgeously written debut novel about
privacy, waking up, and speaking up, Senator Anthony Ruiz is
running for president. Throughout his successful political career
he has always had his daughter's vote, but a presidential campaign
brings a whole new level of scrutiny to sheltered fifteen-year-old
Mariana and the rest of her Cuban American family, from a 60
Minutes-style tour of their house to tabloids doctoring photos and
inventing scandals. As tensions rise within the Ruiz family, Mari
begins to learn about the details of her father's political
positions, and she realizes that her father is not the man she
thought he was. But how do you find your voice when everyone's
watching? When it means disagreeing with your father--publicly?
What do you do when your dad stops being your hero? Will Mari get a
chance to confront her father? If she does, will she have the
courage to seize it?
