Cielo is a bright, determined girl with big dreams-but her life changes the moment she and her mother cross the U.S. border. Facing a new country, a deported father, and the daily struggles of living "under the table," Cielo must work hard to support her family while chasing her ultimate goal: college and a career in nursing.
Despite discrimination, fear, and the obstacles of being undocumented, Cielo graduates with honors and discovers a glimmer of hope in a program that could bring her closer to her dream-and her chance at becoming an American citizen.
