Carmen is thirteen, period poor, and desperate for protection, in a city where dangers lurk at every corner. Everything changes when she takes a bracelet from the local bodega, leading her to an alternate world. Now, as an adult looking back, Carmen must reckon with her actions. Some magic can't be undone. Some lessons must be learned. And some stories must be told, even if no one believes them.
This is the second part to the Bodega Botanica Tales six-part series. Each story stands alone as a unique experience of childhood trauma, resilience, and the challenges of growing up.
Perfect for mature teen/ young adult with some crossover adult readers; this is a story across two timelines.
