About
A year across the border. A lifetime of change.
When a young girl moves from Virginia to Mexico for one unforgettable year, everything feels unfamiliar-new streets, a new language, and a life split between two countries and two cultures.
From tacos at roadside stands and family fiestas that last all night, to school in pajamas and Christmas Eve traditions under a sky full of fireworks, she discovers a world bursting with color, flavor and meaning.
As the year unfolds, what begins as an adventure turns into something deeper: a journey of identity, family and belonging. And when it's time to leave, she realizes she isn't just saying goodbye to a place-she's carrying it with her.
Along the way, she discovers that a story can be more than something you read-it can be something you step into, taste, create and even speak, where recipes, creativity and Spanish come alive inside every chapter.
A heartfelt coming-of-age story about growing up between two worlds and finding yourself in both.
