"This multiple viewpoint novel, set in El Paso, Texas, is a story of two families-one Mexican-American, one Anglo-who find themselves unexpectedly entangled with one another when each of their households separately implode. When the Mexican maid working in both houses begins to suspect that all is not what it seems, she is implicated in the unfolding of a web of mysteries, history, and border politics that forces all concerned to question their own pasts, their understanding of family, and their relationships to a place on the map that is never as clear-cut as it seems."-- Provided by publisher.
