Read the excerpt from The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez."I’m sorry. Can’t Frankie and I stay together?”George looked at me in the rearview mirror. "Once we find you a foster family, then maybe. But you have to remember, your parents sent you here for a reason. Now it’s up to you to make them proud. You have to be strong.”Be strong. That’s what Papá had told me before I left. But he also said to take care of Frankie.
