This stunning YA debut is a timely and heartfelt speculative narrative about healing, faith, and freedom. Seventeen-year-old Marisol has always dreamed of being American, learning what Americans and the US are like from television and Mrs. Rosen, an elderly expat who had employed Marisol's mother as a maid. When she pictured an American life for herself, she dreamed of a life like Aimee and Amber's, the title characters of her favorite American TV show. She never pictured fleeing her home in El Salvador under threat of death and stealing across the US border as "an illegal," but after her brother is murdered and her younger sister, Gabi's, life is also placed in equal jeopardy, she has no choice, especially because she knows everything is her fault. If she had never fallen for the charms of a beautiful girl named Liliana, Pablo might still be alive, her mother wouldn't be in hiding and she and Gabi wouldn't have been caught crossing the border. But they have been caught and their asylum request will most certainly be denied. With truly no options remaining, Marisol jumps at an unusual opportunity to stay in the United States. She's asked to become a grief keeper, taking the grief of another into her own body to save a life. It's a risky, experimental study, but if it means Marisol can keep her sister safe, she will risk anything. She just never imagined one of the risks would be falling in love, a love that may even be powerful enough to finally help her face her own crushing grief. The Grief Keeper is a tender tale that explores the heartbreak and consequences of when both love and human beings are branded illegal.Binding Type: Hardcover

Love these socks! They are absorptive, comfortable, supportive, attractive & great fitting!
Size: Medium, Color: White/Gray (6 Pairs)
These have been my go-to socks for almost 8 years now. I love that they are cotton, so they absorb sweat rather than give you that slimy feel you can get from polyester. They have great support in the mid foot and fit great due to the sizing. Just the right amount of padding and exhibiting an attractive low cut below the ankles. I highly recommend these socks. I hope this is helpful.

So comfortable
Size: Large, Color: White (6-pairs)
They are so comfortable on my feet. Not thin but not so thick your feet are hot. Very comfy and well made. Socks that will last.

Fit like a glove… on your feet!
Size: Large, Color: White (6-pairs)
There socks! What else can I say?! Good fit! Good feel! Good quality! A little more on the thicker than thinner side, so if you want a really thin white ankle maybe go another direction.
