Corazon Tagubio is an outcast at her Catholic school. She's attending on scholarship, she keeps to herself, and her crush on her teacher Ms. Holden doesn't help anything. At home, Cory's less-than-perfect grades disappoint her mom and dad, who are already working overtime to support her distant half brother in the Philippines. When an accident leaves her dad comatose, Cory feels like Ms. Holden is the only person who really sees her. But when a crush turns into something more and the secret gets out, Cory is sent to her half brother. She's not prepared to face a stranger in an unfamiliar place, but she begins to discover how the country that shaped her past might also change her future. |
