"Lyrical [and] haunting, Amricas liberating epiphany will have readers . . . on their feet and cheering." Washington PostDeftly written and fiercely resilient, Amricas Dream explores the evershifting definition of what it means to be American and exemplifies the spirit of every immigrant who has dared to realize the American dream.Amrica Gonzalez is a hotel housekeeper on Vieques, an island off the coast of Puerto Rico, cleaning up after wealthy foreigners who dont look her in the eye. Her alcoholic mother resents her; her married boyfriend, Correa, beats her; and their fourteenyearold daughter thinks life would be better anywhere but with Amrica. So when Amrica is offered the chance to work as a livein housekeeper and nanny for a family in Westchester, New York, she takes it as a sign to finally make the escape she's been longing for.Yet, even as Amrica revels in the comparative luxury of her new lifedaring to care about a man other than Correashe is faced with the disquieting realization that no matter what she does, she can never really escape her past.
