Each member of the community has their own joys and heartbreaks as well as their own strong opinions on how this young Latina should talk, dress, and behave. Some can't understand why she doesn't know where she comes from. Others think she's "not brown enough" to fit in.

Fixing a broken building is one thing, but turning these stubborn individuals into a found family might take more than this one summer.
