Izzy is forced to spend the summer with a grandma she doesn't know very well, in a small village that is culturally different than her own - so she thinks. Slowly Izzy is reconnected to a rich heritage that was hidden from her -- in an effort to protect her from the sadness of her deceased father. That summer Izzy came to know her father well through all those who loved him and the village he loved so much. A great writing to make you feel connected, to be part of a community and culture that's isn't your own...just as Izzy found out. For ages 8 years and up. Oh, and find Grandma's Tortilla receipe in the back!
