Here's the set-up:
Years after leaving Puerto Rico, the words of La Cienega still resonate in Reyna Lewis’ mind. "It's not what you see that makes you truly happy,” the old blind woman said. “What you see may not always be there. How you feel never has to go away. There's nothing better than that tingly happiness that courses through your body and lands in your face causing your cheeks to rise." Whenever she feels that tingle, she believes it’s La Cienega smiling at her. The first time Scott Kincaid felt La Cienega’s smile was in the sixth grade when he kissed his half black, half Puerto Rican best friend Reyna. Now, as the star quarterback of Charleston Preparatory school in South Carolina, Scott is poised for a spectacular professional career in sports. Between leading Charleston Prep to victory week after week, and pleasing his tyrannical and racist mother, Scott never had time to develop that romantic spark with Reyna. But when his once healthy body is attacked by a debilitating disease, he reevaluates what’s important in life. Just when he finally realizes he’s in love with Reyna, Barack Obama wins the presidential election and throws their small private school into racial turmoil. Now it is up to them to unite a city.
One Reviewer Notes:
I loved this book. I read it in 1 day. I love a book that makes you feel like you are right there. This is the fourth book I've read by Leslie DuBois and I haven't been let down yet. This book was touching, heartfelt and warming. I don't want to spoil it for anyone else. I read a lot of books and I can say this is a book if someone asks me 2 years from know what's it about and how was it I could tell them like it I read it yesterday.

...I was born unplanned and unwanted like so many post war children. Duty and doing the right thing kept the parents who made us, miserabley together. I quickly found escape in literature, comics and the part work: Knowledge.
Library's and the countryside became my church and my priests were Steinbeck, Conrad, Hemingway and Joyce. School was torture for the hyper intelligent boy and Dyslexia was: "You're thick and stupid boy."
The troubles erupted and tribal sectarian violence ripped and tore. I stayed untill I could bear it no longer, then left to see the world and wander. I never went back to my dark home city but came south to Cork where I felt easy and only a little foreign.
My soul mate found, I searched for release from the agonies of all the wrong jobs and found it in novels. Twelve so far and more bubbling in me waiting. All will be born into the liberation of the net. eBooks.
I grew up in North Quincy, Massachusetts, and went through the public school system. I wasn't a student who stood out… When I was sixteen, Jack Scanlon, a family friend, helped get me the midnight-to-eight weekend office boy job at the Record-American, Sunday Advertiser, a Hearst Newspaper. Those two-nights a week began my education into the world of journalism and politics. What I learned from the men and women on the Record and Advertiser was more important than anything I learned in college. I was fortunate to enter the world of journalism in its gritty days, when reporters came up the ranks from office boy, to cub, to reporter…
Later, I left Boston and moved to Los Angeles, where I worked in TV and freelanced as a photojournalist for years. I served one year on the board of directors of the Press Photographers Association of Greater Los Angeles. I also married, fathered twin daughters (Seanan and Chela), and divorced, while in LA.
When I got fed up with Hollyweird, I moved to Key West, where I went to work for Bernard Hunt at the daily Key West Citize I have spent another five years as the public information officer for the City of Key West… My mystery novel is fiction, but the city that looms in the background, the bars and restaurants and many of the characters that run through its pages are taken from real life.
Terry Tracy has worked as a human rights activist, journalist, and U.S. diplomat. Terry has had epilepsy for over twenty-five years and in 2007 she wrote the charter for an association of disabled employees at the U.S. State Department.
Terry Tracy was born in Virginia, but moved around Latin America in her childhood as an army brat. After college Terry worked as a receptionist, then left to work for free in Honduras at an orphanage. She returned to work in a human rights organization in Washington DC, then left for Guatemala to work as a free-lance journalist. By this point, her addiction to wanderlust was evident. In denial, she leapt across the Atlantic to Cambridge, England and earned a Master's degree by studying an impractical, but nevertheless intriguing, subject: 16th century Spanish colonial judicial systems. Upon her return to the US she joined the establishment and worked for the US government. In 2007 she left the State Department to take turns as a stay-at-home parent. Terry is Asian-Irish American and currently resides in London with her German husband and their Asian-Irish-German-American daughter.
