Maya's talent for making clothing out of unusual objects-- "trashion"-- landed her a scholarship to Guatemala City's most prestigious art school and a finalist spot in the school's fashion show. Mamá took on extra jobs to pay for what the scholarship doesn't cover. Then gang threats in their neighborhood walked in their front door: a boy Maya considered a little more than a friend. After barely making their escape, Maya and her mom have no choice but to continue their desperate flight all the way through Guatemala and Mexico in hopes of crossing the US border. -- adapted from jacket.
