Don't Ask Me Where I'm From tells the story of Liliana, a high-school sophomore and first-generation American from a gritty Boston neighborhood. Just as the new school year begins, she finds out she's been accepted into a program that will transfer her to a wealthy, white, suburban high school 20 miles away. The list of reasons not to join the program is as long as the daily bus ride will be, but Liliana's mother won't let her pass up the opportunities the richer school can provide. Her father's also been gone for a long time, with no explanation, so making ends meet and taking care of two younger siblings doesn't make things any easier. When Liliana learns the truth about her father, she starts to take a hard look at who she is, where she belongs, what's in her way, and how to get around anything blocking her path.
