Read a sample Read a sample
After one girl's parents lose their home, it would seem easy for her to lose hope, too—but in this inspiring story of family and friendship, just the opposite happens.
  Griselda "Geez" Zaragoza has a love for beautiful things, like her collection of vintage teacups and the flower garden she and her dad planted in the front yard. But when his business goes bankrupt, Geez loses not just her house, but also her confidence and her trust in her unflappable parents.
Tagging along with her big sister Maribel, who postponed college for a job selling Alma Cosmetics, Geez dreams up a way to reclaim the life she thinks she lost. If she can sell enough tubes of glistening, glittery Alma lip gloss, she'll win a cash prize that could help jump start her dad's business.
In this moving coming-of-age novel, Geez will learn that a home isn't just lost or found, but made and re-made.
