Summary, Etc. "Every day Vida reads to the creatures at the wildlife rescue center in Miami and dreams of her childhood in Cuba, where she and her best friend, Adan, adventured through the island, rescuing animals from harm. Unbeknownst to her, Adan has also moved to Florida and is feeling trapped in his new home, buffeted by the stormy fights between his abuelo and papi. When a chance encounter with a captive fox leads to their reunion, Vida and Adan are able to find refuge from the cruelty that surrounds them in their soaring, rekindled romance. Their love reaches new heights as they work together at a zoo that rescues rare species, but soon they realize that this peace is only temporary. Much like the wildlife they want to protect, Vida and Adan are caught in a cycle of distrust and heartlessness. As old family grudges and painful memories come to light, will they and their families learn to heal and forgive each other for a brighter, kinder future?"-- Provided by publisher.
