Beatriz dreams of a life spent dancing--until tragedy on the day of her quinceanera changes everything.

Up until her fifteenth birthday, the most important thing in the world to Beatriz Mendez was her dream of becoming a professional dancer and getting herself and her family far from the gang life that defined their days--that and meeting her dance idol Debbie Allen on the set of her favorite TV show, Fame. But after the latest battle in a constant turf war leaves her brother, Junito, dead and her mother grieving, Beatriz has a new set of priorities. How is she supposed to feel the rhythm when her brother's gang needs running, when her mami can't brush her own teeth, and when the last thing she can remember of her old self is dancing with her brother, followed by running and gunshots? When the class brainiac reminds Beatriz of her love of the dance floor, her banished dreams sneak back in. Now the only question is- will the gang let her go?

Set in New Jersey in 1984, Beatriz's story is a timeless one of a teenager's navigation of romance, her brother's choices, and her own family's difficult past. A companion novel to the much-lauded Like Vanessa.

“AROMATHERAPY” IN THE SHOWER
LOVE this scent! Strong in shower but mellows once rinsed off (might be too strong for sensitive individuals). It’s an “aromatherapy” experience every time you shower! We like the scent so much we put a squirt or two in our foaming hand soap dispensers (we switched to fragrance free hand soap so we could scent it with this)!

A GOOD BUY!!!
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
A very mild shampoo that leaves your hair clean, soft, and with nice body. The Italian bergamot scent is light and refreshing without being overpowering. Overall, a very good 2-in-1 product.

LADIES this makes my long Hair feel much thicker and healthier. So NOT just for the Dudes.
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
First off I am a woman and my Nephews were here for Christmas and tossed a bottle of the Bourbon Oak in the trash on the way out to head home. Well I wondered what it was and there was enough in it to try it for 2 weeks...LOL. So I did. OMG my Hair is thanking my Nephews for that. So I used that up and bought this one. LOOK LADIES...yeah it isn't a Lady Scent but what it did for my long hair means I will keep buying this. I was using Viori for over a year and that is great stuff, cut down on my tangles in a big way. This CREMO made my Hair feel and really seem Thicker. as well as I have less fallout of hair. I would have to clean my brush daily. I have not pulled the hair from my brush since the day before Christmas. I still am in shock about that part. My Fine hair is long to the middle of my back, and gray or salt n pepper. I am not young anymore by a long shot, and Cremo has given my hair something it needed for years. I also find I do not have to wash my hair as often as I did before. I can go 4 days, when before it was 3 maximum. My hair has more moisture, is so much healthier, no greasiness at all. I wash once and leave it on for the time it takes to wash up the rest of me and rinse well. Follow up with Viori Conditioner just for the detangling. I think I don't really need the Viori as the backup but still use it. OK the Scent is fine and not too strong, but it does last til I wash my hair again. Cremo don't change a thing. I am thrilled with this brand of Shampoo/Conditioner. Oh Yeah.
