Be prepared to fall in love with this plucky girl who keeps her heart open as she faces the very scary future of that very heart. Born with a congenital defect, Sofía, first, valiantly learns to adapt to her limitations and, then, courageously faces corrective surgery, and the promised pain, that will hopefully allow her to lead a ""normal"" young girl's life. We see it all through Sofía's eyes...and in such a way that, long after you've read the last word, you will find yourself wondering how her life turned out. - Ann Collins, Book Reviewer
