Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of 50 poems tells the journey of a Panamanian girl who moves to Alaska, capturing her emotional, cultural, and personal transformation. Themes include her nostalgia for Panama's warmth, her awe at Alaska's icy landscapes, and the challenges of adapting to a starkly different world. The poems explore her resilience, the connections she forges with Alaskan communities, and her blending of two cultures. Nature serves as both a challenge and a mentor, guiding her growth. Ultimately, the collection celebrates her dual identity, balancing her tropical roots with her new life in the Arctic, while highlighting the universal power of courage, hope, and belonging.
