Cristina Henrquez (Get this book) A family from Mexico settles in Delaware and strives to repair emotional and physical wounds in Henriquez's dramatic page-turner. The author's third book of fiction opens with the arrival of Arturo and Alma Rivera, who have brought their teenage daughter, Maribel, to the U.S. in the hope of helping her recover from a head injury she sustained in a fall. Their neighbors Rafael and Celia Toro came from Panama years earlier, and their teenage son, Mayor, takes quickly to Maribel. A smartly observed tale of immigrant life that cannily balances its optimistic tone with straight talk.--Kirkus
