"What the Moon Saw" by Laura Resau

From the book:

"Fourteen-year-old Clara has never met her father's parents. She knows he snuck over the border from Mexico as a teenager, but beyond that, she knows almost nothing about his childhood. When she agrees to go to Mexico to visit her grandparents for the summer, she is stunned by their life: they live in simple shacks in the mountains of southern Mexico, where most people speak not only Spanish, but also an indigenous language, Mixteco. "What the Moon Saw" is an enchanting story of discovering your true self in the most unexpected place."

Imagine going to a country where electricity is uncommon, where there's no Internet, no malls, no swimming pool, nothing familiar. Af first Clara is sure she will be bored when she visits her grandparents in their small Mexican town, but she does want to connect with her family and she's feeling a restlessness that seems to be calmed by the thought of the visit. Soon she learns to feel the quiet rhythm of each day. She learns of the healing powers her grandmother has developed and knows that the same ability is in her own spirit.
