Coming of Age

Living At Night

Plot

Living at Night is a troubling view of the indignities and neglect inflicted on disabled and old people by those who are caring for them. It is, however, also a story of hope and redemption__ of how one woman's compassion can make a small but essential difference in the lives of those whom society would rather forget. And how much those removed from the cares of the outside world can teach us about life and the value of human connections.This stunning debut novel from Mariana Romo-Carmona draws us into the world of Erica García-- a young, working class Puerto Rican lesbian searching for her place in the world... Though Erica comes to realize that she may not be able to change the world, she can indeed take charge of her own life.
