The Girls And Me

By Nancy Greenwald Alvarez

The phone jars Rebecca awake: "Naomi in jail. Come," says the heavily accented voice. Her eldest daughter has been helping the rural poor in 'Nicador' for months. The mother and and her younger daughter, Sadie, fly south two days later to get Naomi out of this foreign jail, only to discover that the issue of her release is 'if', not 'when'. All three must find a way to cope, and to have a life in the midst of this painful new reality. Like the Julia Alvarez novel, "In The Time of the Butterflies", it is the strength of the relationships between these women that will get them through the hell they find themselves in, each in her own way, and each with the succor and love they have for one another.
