Running – Audiobook Online By: Natalia Sylvester

When the father of 15-year-old Cuban-American girl Mariana Ruiz ran for president, Mari began to see him with new eyes. A novel about waking up and getting up, and what happens when you no longer see your father as your hero – while the whole country is watching.

In this honest, funny, and well-written debut novel about privacy, waking up, and speaking out, Senator Anthony Ruiz is running for president. Throughout his successful political career, he always got his daughter’s vote, but a presidential campaign brought a whole new level of scrutiny to sheltered 15-year-old Mariana and the rest of her Cuban-American family, from their 60 Minutes-style tour.

Tabloids edit photos and make up scandals. As tensions rise in the Ruiz family, Mari begins to learn the details of her father’s political views, and she realizes that her father is not the man she thought.

But how do you find your voice when everyone is watching? When it means disagreeing with your father – openly? What do you do when your dad is no longer your hero? Will Mari have a chance to confront her father? If so, will she have the courage to embrace it?

Natalia Sylvester has written wonderful tributes to today’s young activists. 16 yo Mari starts a school protest against corrupt contractors in her city. Turns out those contractors were backing her father’s presidential campaign. The story is well-timed with the real Presidential election approaching and young activists emerging around the world—Greta, Malala, Parkland youth, and more. Congratulations, Natalia.

This is a timely read about a patriarch who decided to run for president..
His daughter Mari feels conflicted because she discovers that her father sacrificed to be elected. Climate change issues and access to safe drinking water. It was a very tense issue between them that made this story relevant to today’s issues
