Yet, with the help of a school friend and a wise and caring teacher, Lucia not only survives but thrives. Lucia finds purpose as a peer tutor and courage as she opens up to her English teacher through her poetry. But how will she manage to run the household, care for her little sister, and keep up with her schoolwork in her mom's prolonged absence? Wish. What do I wish? Do wishes come true? I wish they wouldn't whisper. I wish I didn't know the secret, but I do. Do wishes come true for someone like me or Maria? Why not us? Don't we deserve to wish for a better life?-Lucia It's How We Survive is about survival, hope, and the love of a family. It will touch the hearts of people of all ages and backgrounds.... |
