América Gonzalez is a hotel housekeeper on Vieques, an island off the coast of Puerto Rico, cleaning up after wealthy foreigners who don’t look her in the eye. Her alcoholic mother resents her; her married boyfriend, Correa, beats her; and their 14-year-old daughter thinks life would be better anywhere but with América. So when América is offered the chance to work as a live-in 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.

Santiago gives a voice to often invisible women
Revisado: 04-29-21
Esmeralda Santiago’s story of America Gonzales gives a voice to the often invisible women who are the backbone of public and private spaces - domestic workers who clean hotels and homes, care for children, raise them, cook for families, and enable ‘work-life’ balance for working professional parents. Compelling flawed characters and realistic backdrops, Esmeralda depictions are authentic (not relaying on stereotypes or over simplifications). The story unfolds easily as it moves between many different spaces and characters. Great audiobook narration.
