Hope fuels the heart of an immigrant. Surely this place will provide, she thinks. Yet, while many Mexican women see the United States as their CÃbola, or land of opportunity, their journeys are fraught with difficulty. It's easy to look at them simply as anonymous illegals, but each woman has her own struggles and dreams.
Cross the border with a handful of immigrant women, and discover the surprising stories they carry in this collection of eight short plays written by Mexican author Maria Teresa H. de Holcomb.
- Migration of the Butterfly: Can Esperanza find paying work, or will the immigration officer break his promise and report her?
- If They Only Knew: How can the answer to a dying mother's wish be to marry her twelve-year-old daughter to an older man?
- Box 193: Can Lupe find her undocumented husband, or is the father of her unborn child lost forever?
- Secrets: Is it possible for two deeply traumatized people from different cultures to help each other accept their pasts?
- CÃbola: Can Pilar, Lupe, and Sara escape the burdens of their culture to finally find happiness in a new country?
These poignant tales deliver a stirring perspective on the immigrant story you won't soon forget.
