“Camino Rios lives for the summers when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic. But this time, on the day when his plane is supposed to land, Camino arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying people…
In New York City, Yahaira Rios is called to the principal’s office, where her mother is waiting to tell her that her father, her hero, has died in a plane crash.
Separated by distance—and Papi’s secrets—the two girls are forced to face a new reality in which their father is dead and their lives are forever altered.
And then, when it seems like they’ve lost everything of their father, they learn of each other.” - taken from Goodreads.com
Another phenomenal book by Elizabeth Acevedo. Two girls who have never met are brought together by the tragic death of their father. Told in alternating points of view between Camino and Yahaira, this story about what happened when their father’s secret life comes to light. Full of grief, loss, and betrayal but yet acceptance for the difficult situation they are left in. Well worth the read!.
