Bored in Ohio, the story's protagonist joins her parents in Panama, where her father leads the American effort to dig the canal. Privileged, she's separated from danger; however, she soon finds love in the trenches with Federico, an older, politically minded Spaniard who challenges her comfort zone. This passionate coming-of-age story explores social hierarchy, politics, and sexuality.
