If we ever needed a book to give us hope, now is the time. We’re stuck at home worried about a virus and here to entertain us and teach us is Antonia, a Dominican Republic immigrant living in Vermont. She lost her husband, the town doctor a year ago. She is a retired English professor trying to keep her own life sane. Living next door is a grumpy Vermont dairyman who has two illegal Mexicans working for him, and of course, no gringo can distinguish between Latin cultures. Complicating her life is the pregnant girlfriend of one of the Mexican immigrants and her sisters who are worried about the missing older sister. If you have ever struggled and feel that just figuring out your own personal problems is all you can handle, you’ll understand Antonia. The ending chapter is perfect in showing how even though we are broken, we can put our lives back together incorporating the pain we have experienced.
