Dominicana (Spanish Edition) eBook : Cruz, Angie, Antigua, Kianny

This extraordinary coming-of-age story follows Ana Ruiz, a young woman who finds her voice in a world that seeks to silence her.

Married off at 15 to a man twice her age, she is confined to a one-bedroom apartment in Washington Heights.

Juan Ruiz is unfaithful, abusive, and controlling, forbidding Ana from learning English and even attempting to take away her citizenship.

But Ana refuses to be silenced.

After a failed escape, she learns she is pregnant and must fight for her independence and the right to keep her child in the only home she has ever known.

A powerful portrayal of femininity and citizenship, this story is just as relevant today as it was when it was first written.
