From the critically acclaimed author of Bodega Dreams comes a striking novel about destiny, curses, urban gentrification, and finding true love in the most unlikely of places. In New York Citys Spanish Harlem, Julio and Maritza are each searching for a path that will give their lives meaning, even if its shadowed by controversy. Julio is an arsonist for hire, pocketing thousands of dollars from investors eager to capitalize on more expensive real estate. But when he has reason to stop setting his neighborhood ablaze and vows to change his ways, Julios employers threaten his life -- and the lives of those close to him. Maritza, meanwhile, has become the pastor of a progressive Pentecostal church -- the perfect cover for the scam shes running. For the right price, shell make anyone an American citizen. With a cast of characters as colorful as the city itself, Ernesto Quiñonez brings to life a landscape we can all recognize.
