Book overview
A freelance journalist who is short three hundred dollars for his father's coffin--and fresh out of ideas. An unemployed man whose last shred of hope revolves around an abandoned couch outside his house. A desperate man who steals a water gun for his child and ends up performing the wrong kind of miracle. This is life in Toa Baja's Levittown, one of the largest suburban projects in the Caribbean.
Vulnerable, forlorn, and stuck in the mud of an uncertain future, the characters in these stories lack the resources to make ends meet, yet are rich in grit, tenderness, and the scent of the sea breeze. Levittown Mon Amour renders a stirring portrait of the failure of the American dream in Puerto Rico.
