Coming of Age in Ciudad Juárez

The Dance
Paloma and her chambelán, Santiago, enjoy the party. Of her big day, Paloma says, "I was so happy to see how my mom fixed and got my dress ready. When they told me about the interview and photos, I felt that we weren't alone; that we had a lot of people supporting us. I am very fortunate because I (got to) celebrate my dream of my quinceañera with my dress, my mom and my brothers and sisters."
