(3) YA Kerr's latest work, incisive and challenging, is distinguished by a refreshing refusal to soft-pedal the complexities of an illegal immigrant's life, the omnipresence of overt and institutionalized racism, and the inability of love to conquer all. Nonetheless, the romantic entanglement of Esteban, an ambitious but unskilled Colombian, and Annabel, a construction contractor's daughter, ends both provocatively and optimistically.
