With the Fire on High

It's Emoni's senior year, but it's not all fun and games for Emoni; she has a two-year-old, she lives with her grandmother, she works part-time, she's trying to graduate, and she doesn't know what she's going to do after she finishes high school. And then there's her daughter's dad and his parents, who aren't always supportive, and there's her own dad who hot-foots it back home to Puerto Rico after every visit. But Emoni knows what she loves, and that's her daughter and her grandmother and cooking. And this year there is a new boy in school and an elective cooking class that she really wants to take....

You can't help rooting for Emoni, with so many obstacles against her, but with a strong-girl spirit, the support of her friends and family, and her gift at cooking, you feel pretty sure she's going to push through to a good end.
