so-soAna is fifteen and leaving the #DominicanRepublic with her much older husband to live in New York. Her family expects her to conquer the city and send money back home, but Ana‘s reality is another one. It‘s a grim life with a touch of love and lightness.
In enjoyed reading it but I think it won‘t stick with me for a long time.

Ruthiella You hit tons of prompts with just the one book! 👏👏👏 2y
BarbaraBB @Ruthiella so pragmatic 😉 2y
BarbaraBB @Megabooks I think @Cinfhen enjoyed it more than I did. Curious what you‘ll think! 2y
Cinfhen It was a slow start for me but eventually i came to really care for Ana. It‘s true it‘s not very memorable but I feel that way about most books😩I think knowing this book was based on the author‘s mother‘s real life story made this a pick. I‘d like to read this book by the same author @Megabooks![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
