WE NEVER ASKED FOR WINGS

Описание:

On the morning Letty Espinosa sets out from San Francisco for the Mexican border, her two children - fifteen-year-old Alex and six-year-old Luna - wake up alone in their little apartment on a forgotten spit of wetlands near the bay. For fourteen years, it was their grandmother who raised them while Letty worked three jobs. But now, her parents have returned to Mexico, and she doesn't have a choice: she has to step up and become a mother. Alone and uncertain, Letty struggles to get her bearings. With Luna missing her grandparents desperately, and Alex - who is falling in love for the first time - unwilling to give her a chance, it seems impossible that she'll be able to put her family back together. But then she comes up with a plan that just might help them escape the heartbreaking injustices of the place they've always called home - until one wrong move jeopardizes everything she's worked for, threatening those they love and calling into question all their fragile hopes for the future. Deeply moving and gorgeously written, this hugely anticipated novel by the bestselling author of The Language of Flowers is about love, inequality, and what it means to be a family.
