Camino Rios lives for the summers when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic. But this time, on the day when his plane is supposed to land, Camino arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying peopleâĻ
In New York City, Yahaira Rios is called to the principalâs office, where her mother is waiting to tell her that her father, her hero, has died in a plane crash.

And then, when it seems like theyâve lost everything of their father, they learn of each other.Â
