Summary:
Nothing is more important to Mexican-American Marta Delacruz than her quinceanera--the traditional 15th-birthday celebration that symbolically ushers a young Mexican girl into adulthood. She is understandably angry and resentful when her father cancels the gala event. Her outlook is completely changed, however, when she accidentally uncovers her father's secret--he has never become a U.S. citizen.
