This absorbing story puts you in the center of Letty's struggles to become the mother she hopes to be. Letty was a young mom, totally dependent on her parents to raise her kids. When her parents decide to return to Mexico, Letty is on her own. She has to face the problems of a fifteen year old son falling in love with an illegal immigrant, as well as raising her daughter, who has failed to thrive in the atmosphere of poverty. My only problem with the book is that the ease in which Letty turns her life around with the help of Rick, is a bit unbelievable. Well written.
