Brava

While growing up in México, Lucia Inocencio Granados is unconditionally loved by her grandmother who tells her that she is the light of their destiny, born to change their lineage. All Lucia has to do is put herself in God's hands. It is not until many years later, in the darkest moment of her life, that Lucia finally understands the depth of Mamá Juanita's message. When she is just eight years old, Lucia's life changes forever when she boards a bus with her parents and siblings without any idea that she is leaving everything she knows behind to migrate illegally to Los Angeles. After spending a month in Tijuana, Lucia and her family finally cross the border where they become aliens who must live in the shadows to hide from authorities. As she sets down a new path as a determined Méxican-American, Lucia attempts to overcome social pressures and expectations, financial and personal challenges, and cultural stereotypes. But will she find a way to eventually realize the destiny her grandmother envisioned for her? Brava is the inspirational story of a young Latina's coming-of-age journey as she searches for true happiness and success after she migrates to the United States from México.
