Point me to tomorrow

Jamie, Carmen, and Alicia, friends and partners in Amigas Inc., a quincean?era party planning business, are faced with important decisions as they approach graduation about their business, their boyfriends, and their futures, and must decide if they have time to squeeze in a job for a renowned young Latina whose identity has to remain secret.

Fifteen candles
