Sophie lives with her British mother, her Mexican step-father, and her, rather crazy, Bosnian refugee great-aunt in Arizona. Soon after the story begins, Sophie's family takes in an orphan, Pablo, whose parents died while trying to cross the desert from Mexico to the United States. After a year they find Pablo's family deep in Mexico, and decide to go there to see if Pablo wants to stay with them. With her parents unable to come, Sophie journies with Pablo, her aunt, her aunt's boyfriend, Lorenzo, and his son, Angel. It's the start of an adventure, filled with fear, wonder, and discovery.
This book is all about Sophie and the people around her, the world around her. At the beginning of the book, she's afraid of almost everything. . She's a hypocondriac and is scared to death at the thought of losing her parents. So she's invisible, staying out of everyone's way, and yet, even though she's afraid of what people think of her, she's even more afraid of being alone. This story is about Sophie finding herself and letting other people know her, too, maybe enough to fall in love.
