Away from her mother for the first time, the Haitian teenager resolves to make the best of a difficult transition to America. Life in Haiti wasn’t perfect, but it was the only life she knew. Now, suddenly uprooted, Cynthia’s troubles have only just begun. Learning a new language is the least of her worries.

Somehow, Cynthia finds a way out of the darkness surrounding her and enrolls in college, but can she keep up with the other students who all seem to have it together? And when she loses the only source of unconditional love she’s ever known, can she fight her way back from the brink? This book will: Inspire you to never give up on your best life. Help you understand the quagmire of depression. Shed light on the struggles of an immigrant, alone in America.
