But when Juan Ruiz proposes and promises to take her to New York City, she has to say yes. It doesn't matter that he is twice her age, that there is no love between them. Their marriage is an opportunity for her entire close-knit family to eventually immigrate. So on New Year's Day, 1965, Ana leaves behind everything she knows and becomes Ana Ruiz, a wife confined to a cold six-floor walk-up in Washington Heights. Lonely and miserable, Ana hatches a reckless plan to escape. But at the bus terminal, she is stopped by Cesar, Juan's free-spirited younger brother, who convinces her to stay. As the Dominican Republic slides into political turmoil, Juan returns to protect his family's assets, leaving Cesar to take care of Ana. Suddenly, Ana is free to take English lessons at a local church, lie on the beach at Coney Island, see a movie at Radio City Music Hall, go dancing with Cesar, and imagine the possibility of a different kind of life in America. When Juan returns, Ana must decide once again between her heart and her duty to her family. --$$cpublisher's website. 001390105 647_7 $$aRevolution$$c(Dominican Republic :$$d1965)$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01354504 001390105 648_7 $$a1965$$2fast 001390105 650_0 $$aImmigrants$$vFiction. 001390105 650_0 $$aMan-woman relationships$$vFiction. 001390105 650_0 $$aFamilies$$vFiction. 001390105 650_0 $$aDominicans (Dominican Republic)$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York$$vFiction. 001390105 650_0 $$aArranged marriage$$vFiction. 001390105 650_7 $$aArranged marriage.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00815057 001390105 650_7 $$aDominicans (Dominican Republic)$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00896781 001390105 650_7 $$aEmigration and immigration.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00908690 001390105 650_7 $$aFamilies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01728849 001390105 650_7 $$aImmigrants.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00967712 001390105 650_7 $$aMan-woman relationships.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01007080 001390105 651_0 $$aDominican Republic$$xHistory$$yRevolution, 1965$$vFiction. 001390105 651_0 $$aDominican Republic$$xEmigration and immigration$$vFiction. 001390105 651_0 $$aNew York (N.Y.)$$vFiction. 001390105 651_7 $$aDominican Republic.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01206148 001390105 651_7 $$aNew York (State)$$zNew York.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204333 001390105 655_7 $$aNovels.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01921742 001390105 655_7 $$aBildungsromans.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01726536 001390105 655_7 $$aDomestic fiction.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01726589 001390105 655_7 $$aFiction.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01423787 001390105 655_7 $$aHistorical fiction.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01726640 001390105 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001390105 655_7 $$aDomestic fiction.$$2lcgft 001390105 655_7 $$aHistorical fiction.$$2lcgft 001390105 655_7 $$aBildungsromans.$$2lcgft 001390105 655_7 $$aNovels.$$2lcgft 001390105 852__ $$bya$$hPS3603 .R89$$iD66 2020 001390105 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1390105$$pGLOBAL_SET 001390105 980__ $$aBOOK 001390105 980__ $$aBIB 001390105 980__ $$aNPR 001390105 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
