Titi Silvia leaves me by myself to unpack,
but itâs not like I brought a bunch of stuff.
How do you prepare for the unpreparable?
How do you fit your whole life in one bag?
And how am I supposed to trust social services
when they wonât trust me back?
Laura RodrÃguez Colón has a plan: no matter what the grown-ups say, she will live with her parents again. Can you blame her? Itâs tough to make friends as the new kid at school. And while staying at her auntâs house is okay, it just isnât the same as being in her own space.
So when Laura finds a puppy, it seems like fate. If she can train the puppy to become a therapy dog, then maybe sheâll be allowed to visit her parents. Maybe the dog will help them get better and things will finally go back to the way they should be.
After all, how do you explain to others that youâre technically a foster kid, even though you live with your aunt? And most importantly . . . how do you explain that youâre not where you belong, and you just want to go home?
