“Then, just like that, Gaby remembered the real last time she had seen Alma cry. It was the day Mrs. Gomez had picked the girls up from school early to tell them that Gaby’s mom had been arrested at work. Alma wept immediately. She seemed to know what it meant before Gaby could even grasp Mrs. Gomez’s words. Two weeks later, when her mom was deported, Gaby cried for a week straight. It was Alma who finally dragged her outside and back into the world.”
Angela Cervantes, Gaby, Lost and Found: A Wish Novel

“Animales depend on us to take care of them.”
Angela Cervantes, Gaby, Lost and Found

“Gaby wasn’t having much luck with cats lately. The stray from yesterday had left her with red welts and a bad dream, and Lemon had just tried to eat her hair.”
Angela Cervantes, Gaby, Lost and Found
