As she starts tenth grade, Xiomara experiences a crisis of faith in the opening pages of the book, The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo.

In Elizabeth Acevedo's novel The Poet X, Ms. Xiomara struggles with how her parents' devout Catholicism hinders her own development as a woman and a feminist. She also frequently feels judged by members of her community because she wants to speak out against cultural norms that she believes to be harmful and unhealthy.

She finds it difficult to give oneself over to God since she doesn't feel at ease doing so, and she is also looking forward to seeing her new English teacher. When Xiomara is little, Mami adores her and claims that she is her prize for being holy; but, as Xiomara gets older, Mami is aggressive and intrusive.
