Voilet Paz has just turned fifteen, a pivotal birthday in the eyes of her Cuban grandmother. Fifteen is the age when a girl enters womanhood, traditionally celebrating the occaison with a quinceanero. But while Voilet may be half Cuban, she's also half Polish, and more importantly, she feels 100% American. So when she begrudgingly accepts Abuela's plans for a quinceanero-and as she begins to ask questions about her Cuban roots-cultures and feelings collide in this thought-provaking ang humorous novel.
