Description
A powerful and energetic novel-in-verse about an Afro-Latina heroine's journey to self-expression. Xiomara Batista pours her frustration and passion into a leather notebook, reciting words like prayers as she navigates the complexities of her family, identity, and first love. Forced to keep her thoughts hidden from her traditional mother, Xiomara finds solace in slam poetry, where she can express herself freely. As she prepares to perform at school, she must confront the risks of being discovered and the weight of her own voice. With unflinching honesty and a fierce determination, Xiomara refuses to be silenced, even when the world around her seems determined to keep her quiet.
