In this stunning work of in-depth journalism, Helen Thorpe, wife of Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, takes us deep into the American subculture of Mexican immigrants. We meet four girls on the eve of their senior prom, in Denver, Colorado. Two of them have legal documentation and two do not. This brilliant, fast-paced work is a vivid coming-of-age story about girlhood, friendship, and identity—what it means to inherit an identity from one's parents and country.
