"Truth and Salsa" by Linda Lowery follows the journey of a young girl named Sofia, who navigates the challenges of growing up in a vibrant, multicultural community. Passionate about dance, she finds herself torn between her traditional upbringing and her desire to express herself through salsa. As Sofia confronts issues of identity, friendship, and family expectations, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Her love for salsa becomes a means of bridging the gap between her heritage and her dreams. Through dance, Sofia learns valuable lessons about authenticity, connection, and the importance of staying true to oneself. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
