Dominicana
Angie Cruz
This novel tells the story of a Dominican teenager's arranged marriage and immigration to New York City in the midst of political turmoil in the 1960s. Ana Cancion never intended to leave the Dominican countryside, but when Juan Ruiz offers to take her to America, she must say yes in order to provide her family with an opportunity to immigrate. As Ana struggles to adapt to a new life in a cold six-floor walk-up, she meets Juan's brother Cesar and imagines a different future. But when Juan returns, Ana must choose between duty and following her heart.
