Cristina Larson hates good-byes. She’s had enough of them in almost fifteen years, going back and forth between her parents’ hometown in rural Minnesota and the bustling city where she was born and grew up in western Brazil. She feels more Brazilian than American. She doesn’t know the latest fashions or slang in Rum River. And the worst part is being stuck there the year of her fifteenth birthday—the one every Brazilian girl looks forward to her whole life.
Jason is the one who is American. Or is he? He may be gorgeous and play football, but he doesn’t look like his Swedish-American neighbors. His mother is Korean and some people won’t let him forget it. Caught between two worlds, Cristina and Jason struggle to understand God’s plan. Sometimes being different can be downright dangerous.
