Summary
Julia was twelve when she began "My Everything" -- her diary. She tells it all about growing up in Juárez. At first, her family loses their house and their car, then suddenly her father is making lots of money. Her father is gone a lot. In the neighborhood, there are shootings in the middle of the street, cars and neighbors disappear, pet cats and entire homes are left behind. Girls are disappearing. Julia hears people saying that drug cartels rule the streets, but she only knows that she and her brother can't play outside. She wants to move across the river to the United States where her aunt and cousins live. When her father vanishes for real, Julia and her brother go to live with her aunt in El Paso. And Julia can only make lists of those things she loses.
