      abstract = {After their daughter Maribel suffers a near-fatal  accident, the Riveras leave Mexico and come to America. But  upon settling at Redwood Apartments, a two-story  cinderblock complex just off a highway in Delaware, they  discover that Maribel's recovery--the piece of the American  Dream on which they've pinned all their hopes--will not be  easy. Every task seems to confront them with language,  racial, and cultural obstacles. At Redwood also lives Mayor  Toro, a high school sophomore whose family arrived from  Panama fifteen years ago. Mayor sees in Maribel something  others do not: that beyond her lovely face, and beneath the  damage she's sustained, is a gentle, funny, and wise  spirit. But as the two grow closer, violence casts a shadow  over all their futures in America.},
