From the moment she arrives and faces the immigration offi cer with the coldest and most hostile eyes she had ever seen, she realizes she is in for a long and turbulent ride. She becomes a waitress, a machinist, a hotel maid as she grapples with a new language, a new city and a new world. Exhausted after years of hard work and failures, she decides to return to her country of originif her luck didnt change. But it does.
