When fifteen-year-old Cuban American Mariana Ruizโs father runs for president, Mari starts to see him with new eyes. A novel about waking up and speaking up, and what happens when you stop seeing your dad as your heroโwhile the whole country is watching.
In this thoughtful, authentic, humorous, and gorgeously written novel about privacy, waking up, and speaking up, Senator Anthony Ruiz is running for president. Throughout his successful political career he has always had his daughterโs vote, but a presidential campaign brings a whole new level of scrutiny to sheltered fifteen-year-old Mariana and the rest of her Cuban American family, from a 60 Minutesโstyle tour of their house to tabloids doctoring photos and inventing scandals. As tensions rise within the Ruiz family, Mari begins to learn about the details of her fatherโs political positions, and she realizes that her father is not the man she thought he was.
But how do you find your voice when everyoneโs watching? When it means disagreeing with your fatherโpublicly? What do you do when your dad stops being your hero? Will Mari get a chance to confront her father? If she does, will she have the courage to seize it?
