Book Synopsis

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK

Shortlisted for the 2020 Women''s Prize for Fiction

Through a novel with so much depth, beauty, and grace, we, like Ana, are forever changed. Jacqueline Woodson, Vanity Fair

Gorgeous writing, gorgeous story. Sandra Cisneros

Fifteen-year-old Ana Cancion never dreamed of moving to America, the way the girls she grew up with in the Dominican countryside did. But when Juan Ruiz proposes and promises to take her to New York City, she has to say yes. It doesn't matter that he is twice her age, that there is no love between them. Their marriage is an opportunity for her entire close-knit family to eventually immigrate. So on New Year's Day, 1965, Ana leaves behind everything she knows and becomes Ana Ruiz, a wife confined to a cold six-floor walk-up in Washington Heights. Lonely and miserable, Ana hatches a reckless plan to escape. But at the bus terminal, she is stopped by Cesar, Juan's
