So, for my birthday, I did get a few books...and a few more gift certificates to buy them, which are always good too. One of the books I got was Red Glass, by Laura Resau. It's an amazing, funny, touching story about illegal Mexican immigrants, red glass, chickens, road trips, and facing your fears. It follows the story of Sophie's sixteenth summer, and the little 6 year old boy who burrows his way into it, bringing more worries and fears to pile on top of Sophie's already higher than average pile. His name is Pablo, and he's discovered at a hospital with her stepfather's business card in his pocket. Thus starts her summer, and the road trip to find Pablo's family, where she discovers stars, strength, limes, salsa dancing, perspective, and....Angel. The story's really well written, and I recommend it to anyone who likes Hispanic culture, journeys, or a book to read...one with words. It's one of the better ones in that category.
