Her life was so awful and now, she realized, it was about to get worse. Thirteen-year-old Araceli had made a mistake at her last school and now she was paying the price.
She was yanked out of her public high school and enrolled mid-year into a Catholic school, her dad's alma mater as if this would be the answer to their problems as a family.
Araceli's mounting sense of loss from the death of her mother impacts her choices in life, which have far-reaching effects on her relationships and on her faith journey.
A new friend and a growing relationship with her grandparents help Araceli to handle the anger and grief inside her.
Then a shocking betrayal is discovered.
Can Aracleli's uncertain faith help her to forgive? If so, how? And most importantly, why?
This coming of age novel is about a troubled young girl rising up through sorrow and rediscovering the traditions of her faith and culture. For Araceli, there are questions about the practices of Catholicism, a belief in God and the definition of family.
