“. . A novel that begs us not to forget about the heartbreaking poverty and tragedy the world holds, and that reminds us of the resilience we carry inside."
-- School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW
Great need and great love can sometimes travel hand in hand. “United in hope and hunger, they soon discover that their feelings for each other run deep. Love can feed their souls and hearts—but is it enough to withstand el período especial?” Amazon.com
Award-winning poet and author, Margarita Engle, uses her families’ personal struggles in Cuba to frame a compelling story of young love and struggle. Your Heart, My Sky won the Most Inspirational Young Adult Book Award from the 24th International Latino Book Awards.
“Engle’s words masterfully convey an evergreen human truth: that, in the end, we want to be able to live and love to our hearts’ content. A deeply touching read that will stay with readers long after they turn the last page.”
