Showing results for "Una" in Difficult Situations

It's been several years since Carly Vega's parents were deported. Carly lives with her older brother, studies hard, and works the graveyard shift at a convenience store to earn enough to bring her parents back from Mexico.

En el último año, Carmen se ha acostumbrado al silencio. Al silencio de sus padres, que la observan y callan; al de sus amigos, que parecen haberse rendido con ella. Y al silencio en su propia mente, que por fin ha dejado de gritar. Hasta que una noche se le aparece un fantasma que no soporta el silencio; que insiste, una y otra vez, en que Carmen lo mire. En que lo escuche. Carmen busca ayuda en su antigua pandilla: en Fito, el creyente; en Gabriel, el escéptico, y en Agatha, la médium.
