and her family make a shocking discovery that puts their American dreams at risk in this searing companion to In the Beautiful Country, which Gene Luen Yang called "vivid and hopeful."

* A Cooperative Children's Book Center Choices List Selection *

After a rocky first year, Anna's family has settled into life in California--their small restaurant is even turning a profit. Then her parents make a shattering discovery: Their visas have expired.

Anna's world is quickly overwhelmed by unfamiliar words like "undocumented" and "inequality." She longs to share with a friend the towering secret that looms over every aspect of her life, but her parents strictly forbid her from telling anyone.

As Anna grapples with the complexities of being undocumented, the strain that it places on her family, and the loneliness of keeping it all to herself, she has to wonder--if America is the promised land, why does everything she's hoped for feel like a lie?

Perfect for fans of Kelly Yang, Reem Faruqi, and Jasmine Warga, this middle grade novel in verse, inspired by the author's own experiences, focuses on themes of legal documentation, identity, and language's ability to divide and unite.
