Come read with us!
For September we'll be reading Dominicana by Angie Cruz, a coming-of age-story about the Dominican immigrant experience. Set in 1960s New York, fifteen-year-old Ana Cancion is trapped in a loveless marriage to a man twice her age—abusive businessman Juan Ruiz—and leaves everything that she knows in the Dominican Republic for a six-floor walk-up in Washington Heights. When Juan's younger brother César appears, Ana finds independence, love, and opportunity...but it will it last?
