A heartfelt journey of change, courage, and growing up far from home. When 12-year-old Layla finds out she's moving from Mexico City to Austin, Texas, her world turns upside down. In My Own Summit , she shares her story with honesty, humor, and deep emotion, from the pain of saying goodbye to friends and family, to the struggles of starting school in a new language, to discovering hope and connection in the most unexpected places. Told through Layla's eyes, this inspiring true story captures what it means to leave everything behind and slowly find your place again. It's a book for anyone who has faced big changes, missed home, or wondered if they would ever belong. Written by a young author with a big heart, this is a moving story of resilience, friendship, and finding the strength to climb your own mountain one step at a time.
