Find Me a Wonder

Seventeen-year-old Celeste knows the voice at the other end of the line can only mean bad news. Her estranged brother gives her a choice: bring him his tuition money in two days, or have her worst secret revealed. The problem? He is all the way in Santa Cruz while she's at the southern edge of California. Desperate, Celeste turns to the only person capable of joining her through such madness. Yahaira Portillo, the cute new girl that Celeste tutors, accepts the mission. Each girl harbors secrets, and sixteen hours is a long time to spend with somebody without feelings spilling from the cracks. But this is a roadtrip story, not a love story... right? Racing against the clock, Celeste and Yahaira set off on an 800-mile journey neither will forget. Set in the fictitiously populated city of Dulzura, Celeste's journey straddles the cultures of México and the United States, youth and adulthood, and the colorful discovery of queer sexuality against everything Celeste thought she knew about herself.
