About the Book

Selena's ex-husband has left her in a strange land with a baby and two younger sisters to care for. It's hard for Spanish-speaking immigrants to get work, and Selena earns little from the crochet dolls and doilies she makes to sell. The middle sister, Celia, works in a hotel at a job she hates, but it pays the rent and puts food on the table. Pamela is still at school. The three came from the Dominican Republic in the hope of a better living in Antigua. But Antiguans are hostile to the immigrant community in their midst, seeing the newcomers as intruders come to steal away their jobs and their menfolk. Only Pamela settles easily into the new life. And it is Pamela who is instrumental in bringing Michael, her cricket coach, into Selena's drab world. For Michael it is love at first sight. But Selena has been too deeply hurt by misplaced love in the past, and Michael must woo her with patience and understanding. Then, as Selena's guard begins to lower, Victor, her ex-husband, makes his reappearance.
