What happens on Winter's sixteenth birthday?

On Winter's sixteenth birthday, Santiaga gives her a diamond tennis bracelet and then surprises the family with the news that he has bought a home in Long Island. The move is part of Santiaga's plan to insulate his family from the drug empire and the consistent "warring" among drug lords in the projects. Winter hates the neighborhood and her new school. While she loves the luxury of the house, she misses Brooklyn.
