Read the excerpts from The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez. Excerpt 1 – Chapters 13 and 14 "They’re not going with us.” My fear turned into anger. "You’re sending us away, aren’t you? Like some of the other kids. How can you do that?”Papá’s eyes glistened. "Lucy, we have no choice. You know they won’t let us leave with you. Alicia Milian was able to get us some visa waivers for you and Frankie, but . . .”"Wait. So where are we going?” Frankie asked."To the U.S.,” Papá answered. "It won’t be for long, but you’ll be safe until things get better here.”Excerpt 2 – Chapter 15George smiled and stood up. "The church is doing its very best to give you all a place to stay, but you have to remember that this isn’t a vacation. . . . Let’s get your bags and then I’ll find out where you’re each going.”I hesitated.He looked back over his shoulder as I stayed holding on to Frankie. "Don’t worry, you’re safe here.”Safe? How could we really be safe if we were alone, in a strange country? But there was a kindness in George’s eyes that told me he would do his best for us. He reminded me of Papá. The way he carried himself. How he seemed at ease in the huge airport walking among strangers. There was a certain confidence that inspired our trust.
