Produktinformationen zu „Sweet Fifteen (ePub)“
Preparations for the traditional quinceañera celebration marking young Stephanie's fifteenth birthday serve as the backdrop for a traditional, Mexican-American family struggling with the problems of breaching the gap between male and female, young and old.The unexpected death of Stephanie's father, a loving but domineering and influential man who ran his business and his family with an equally firm hand, has cast a shadow over Stephanie's quinceañera party, which is supposed to mark her transition to womanhood. Rita, the young seamstress charged with designing Stephanie's gown, detects the girl's reluctance to go through with what she considers an outmoded tradition. Her efforts to convince Stephanie's Uncle Brian that the girl needs a compassionate friend more than a dress lead to a budding romance between the two.The intriguing plot built around Rita and Brian's romance, Stephanie's growing appreciation for the traditions and values of her culture and the interesting details of everyday life among middle-class U.S. Hispanics will hold the attention of teens regardless of their ethnic background.
