4.0

With a timeline that jumps from the 1800’s to the present day, not chronologically, the book follows several women, mostly immigrants to the US from Cuba and El Salvador.  The novel explores the immigrant experience, the plight of those left behind, the difference between the reception of the political asylees from Cuba and the unwanted refugees from Central America.
