Reseña del libro "Lucky Boy (en Inglés)"
Two women. Two possible futures. One lucky boy.
Eighteen years old and fizzing with optimism, Solimar Castro Valdez embarks on a perilous journey across the Mexican border. Weeks later, she arrives in Berkeley, California, dazed by first love found then lost, and pregnant. This was not the plan. Undocumented and unmoored, Soli discovers that her son, Mr. Ignacio, can become her touchstone, and motherhood her identity in a world where she's otherwise invisible.
Kavya Reddy has created a beautiful life in Berkeley, but then she can't get pregnant and that beautiful life seems suddenly empty. When Soli is placed in immigrant detention, Ignacio comes under Kavya's care and she finally gets to be the singing, storytelling kind of mother she dreamed of being. But she builds her love on a fault line, her heart wrapped around someone else's child.
"Nacho" to Soli, and "Iggy" to Kavya, the boy is steeped in love, but his destiny and that of his two mothers teeters between two worlds as Soli fights to get back to him. Lucky Boy is a moving and revelatory ode to the ever-changing boundaries of love.
"Swept me away and took a little piece of my heart with it. It's a perfect book."
Edan Lepucki , New York Times bestselling author of California
"A heartfelt and moving novel that challenges the true meaning of home. A deeply beautiful book." Molly Antopol, author of The UnAmericans
