520    América Gonzalez is a hotel housekeeper on Vieques, an 
       island off the coast of Puerto Rico, cleaning up after 
       wealthy foreigners who don't look her in the eye. Her 
       alcoholic mother resents her; her married boyfriend, 
       Correa, beats her; and their fourteen-year-old daughter 
       thinks life would be better anywhere but with América. So 
       when América is offered the chance to work as a live-in 
       housekeeper and nanny for a family in Westchester, New 
       York, she takes it as a sign to finally make the escape 
       she's been longing for. Yet, even as América revels in the
       comparative luxury of her new life--daring to care about a
       man other than Correa--she is faced with the disquieting 
       realization that no matter what she does, she can never 
       really escape her past.
