As an adoptive parent I know that later my own son will have the same questions Chloe had about his birthparents. What I love about Trianas characters are that they are strong but still very human. She has great adoptive parents who love and support her.Ĭhloes struggles to make sense of her relationship with both Gordon and her best friend Rock are heartfelt and very real. At Chloes high school she shows herself as a hardcore biker chick when in fact shes not. And her latest Riding The Universe is no disappointment. Im a fan of Gaby Triana and love her Latina heroines. She finds herself skidding and maybe even Lolita cant help her with the recent bumps in the roadway called life.

Add to that her curiosity about the identity of her birthparents. She doesnt get how now Rock doesnt like the idea of her new boyfriend when he always seems to have a string of girls at his beck and call. Chloe is confused as theyve been BFF since elementary school. Problem is her best friend Rock, doesnt seem to like how things are changing. What starts out as a battle of wills, turns into something more.

But her adoptive father threatens if she doesnt pull her chemistry grade up, shell lose the bike. Chloe Rodriguez loves Lolita, her Harley-Davidson 1200 Sportster motorcycle she inherited from her late uncle, Seth.
