A blizzard in Brooklyn and a car accident is what is needed to bring three lives together and turn them around for the better.
Richard owns a Brooklyn brownstone with a lower floor rented to Lucia. Lucia stays in during the blizzard, but Richard forces himself to head for the store. On his way, he rear-ends a Lexus that Evelyn is driving.
This small accident creates the three to need more from each other than could be guessed until the story relays the details of their lives.
Richard obtained an academic position at NYU after his regrettable life in Chile. In Chili, he started with a wife and two children. Shortly after moving to the states, he no longer has children or a wife. He sank into a rigid life of work and little socialization.
Lucia moves from Chile when Richard offers her a teaching job and a place to rent. Her former life had also been full of family losses and humanitarian grievances. She feels empty and alone.
Evelyn immigrates to the US from Guatemala seeking asylum and a job for a young woman barely speaking English.
The accident proves more than just a fender bender. Evelyn has her boss's car. In the car is evidence of a horrible crime.
Evelyn, Richard, and Lucia grouped together to plan how to hide someone else's crime to save Evelyn.
During their quest, each learn and begin to love one another. Richard and Lucia find a need to be together, and Evelyn becomes a pseudo daughter to them.
Their fragile lives are reconstructed out of love.
Happy reading,
