In Jennifer De Leon's debut novel Don't Ask Me Where I'm From, Liliana Cruz, a first-generation Latinx American, is struggling to fit in at her new all-white suburban high school — which is a world away from her tough inner-city Boston neighbourhood. Surviving Westburg becomes even more difficult after Liliana learns that her father — who recently abandoned her and her mother — may not have left of his own volition.
