Synopsis
Marisol Reyes has spent sixteen years holding her family together. One forged signature is about to pull it apart.
As the eldest daughter of Dominican immigrants, Marisol is the one who translates for her mother, looks after her younger brother, and folds her own dreams quietly away to keep the household steady. So when she discovers a prestigious teen astronomy program at the American Museum of Natural History — and knows her mother will never sign the application — she signs it herself. It is the first deliberate lie she has ever told.
Acceptance should feel like a beginning. Instead it cracks open everything she's worked to protect: her relationship with her mother, her oldest friendship, and the careful life she built to keep her family whole.
Told in English and Spanish, in the rhythm of the households it honors, Roots That Reach the Stars is a debut about identity, ambition, grief, and the invisible labor of immigrant daughters — and what it costs a girl to finally reach for something of her own.
For readers of Elizabeth Acevedo's Clap When You Land and Erika L. Sánchez's I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter.
