The thought-provoking and timely new novel from Melissa de la Cruz,
the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Alex & Eliza: A Love
Story, will have you crying with Jasmine as she finds out she's
undocumented - then cheering her on as she fights to stay in the country
she loves. She had her whole life planned.She knew who she was and
where she was going. Until the truth changed everything.Jasmine de
los Santos has always done what's expected of her. She's studied hard,
made her Filipino immigrant parents proud and is ready to reap the
rewards in the form of a full college scholarship to the school of her
dreams.And then everything shatters. Her parents are forced to reveal
the truth: their visas expired years ago. Her entire family is illegal.
That means no scholarships, maybe no college at all and the very real
threat of deportation.As she's trying to make sense of this new reality,
her world is turned upside down again by Royce Blakely. He's funny,
caring and spontaneous--basically everything she's been looking for at
the worst possible time--and now he's something else she may lose.
Jasmine will stop at nothing to protect her relationships, family and
future, all while fighting the hard truths of being
undocumented.*****"A great read!" --Rachel Cohn, New York
