Xiaomara feels trapped, a teenager growing up in Harlem whose mother wants her to follow the strict conduct rules laid down by the church. But Xiamara wants to be free and she finds her escape in words capturing her passions, her feelings, her frustrations on the page - but she wants to shout out loud. But is she brave enough? A powerful and completely immersive verse novel to be read by young adults and old.
