What is a normal life, anyway? Sal's early life was anything but ordinary. On the day his mother learned she was pregnant, she left her violent boyfriend and moved in with her best friend, Vicente. Three years later, Sal's mother passed away from cancer, but not before marrying Vicente so he could adopt the baby and give him a better life. At 17, despite having the best adoptive father imaginable, Sal struggles with questions about his past and identity. As he faces major decisions about his future, such as heading to university, the pressure causes him to react with violence. However, Sal is not alone; he has two great friends, Samantha and Fito, who also have unusual family histories. Together, the three friends search for the answers they need, discovering the value of friendship, the importance of family bonds, and how we are all perfectly imperfect. An engaging story that promotes values like acceptance, friendship, and the search for identity.
