"When Julia Rodriguez and her teenage daughter, Beatriz, fled El Salvador, they escaped bloodthirsty gangs, random violence, and Julia's abusive husband. Arriving in Miami, mother and daughter struggled to carve out their own piece of the American dream. While life in the States is hard, it is safer, until Julia rejects her boss's unwanted sexual advances. Suddenly, because of an 'anonymous' tip to the United States immigration authorities, she is arrested, locked in detention, and slated for deportation. Julia's only chance is for Jack to win asylum for his client, an option that's become nearly impossible in America's politically chareged climate"--Provided by publisher.
