Efrén Dividido

"La Madre de Efrâen Nava es su Superwoman, a Soperwoman, llamada asi por los deliciosos sopes mexicanos que suele preparar. Su amâa y su apâa trabajan duro todo el dâia para mantener a la familia, asegurâandose de que Efrâen y sus hermanos menores, Max y Mâia, se sientan seguros y queridos. Pero Efrâen se preocupa por sus padres. Aunque naciâo en Estados Unidos, sus padres son indocumentados. Su peor pesadilla se vuelve realidad cuando su amâa no regresa del trabajo y es deportada al otro lado de la frontera, en Tijuana, Mâexico."--Provided by publisher.
