In the midst of winter by nick Castor, Isabel Allende, Amanda Hopkinson
NY in 1970's and a blizzard hits. Richard owns the building and rents out basement to a woman, Luciana from S. America.
While Richard is bringing his cat to the vet during the blizzard he hits a woman in her car. Later she shows up in his apartment and is not able to say what she wants. He gets Luciana and after some laced brownies they can understand one another better.
She ends up staying as it's not safe to be outside due to the storm. Chapters go back in time to their lives as to how they were raised, where and under what circumstances.
Abaleen is undocumented and has a body in the trunk. Luciana understands and wants to help her out of the mess.
They each have their tragic starts as the story alternates with the present day...
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
