Una impresionante novela de esperanzas y sueños, culpa y amor, un libro que ofrece una nueva definición resonante de lo que significa ser estadounidense e "ilumina las vidas detrás de los debates actuales sobre la inmigración latina" - The New York Times Book Review
Dos jóvenes que se enamoran. Dos familias cuyas esperanzas chocan con el destino. Y una extraordinaria novela que nos ofrece una poderosa y nueva definición de lo que significa ser americano. Arturo y Alma Rivera han vivido toda la vida en México. Un día, Maribel, la hija a la que tanto quieren, sufre un grave accidente y la probabilidad de que se recupere completamente es poca. Dejando todo atrás, los Rivera emigran a los Estados Unidos con un solo sueño: que en este país de tantos recursos y oportunidades, Maribel se recupere. Cuando Mayor Toro, cuya familia es de Panamá, ve a Maribel en un Dollar Tree, es amor a primera vista. También es el principio de una amistad entre las familias Rivera y Toro, y de una red de culpa, amor y responsabilidad que es el núcleo de esta novela. Intercalados entre sus historias están los testimonios de mujeres y hombres que han llegado a los Estados Unidos de toda América Latina. Sus viajes y voces te inspirarán y, a su vez, y te partirán el corazón.
