(2) YA Fifteen-year-old Doris's salsa-singer mami, constrained by the New Jersey barrio, returns to Puerto Rico; Doris's fast-talking entrepreneur and musician father is often on the road. Her search for place becomes the heart of this elegantly written novel about growing up and becoming independent. Doris is a relatable character who survives a hard year of learning to find her own way.
