Clap When You Land

A captivating read, written in verse. This story is about loss, grief, shame, family secrets, resentments, regrets, but also about hope and love. This marvelous book masterfully moves between the stories of Yahaira, who lives in NYC, and Camino, who lives in the Dominican Republic, as they learn about the death of their father, about each other's existence, and how they come to trust  and love each other. A real-life tragic accident that devastated the Dominican community, both in the US and the island, is the backdrop of this story.
