A 1970s Mexican immigrant family is mired in grief, rage and guilt over a daughter's debilitating accident on the eve of her quinceañera. When the undocumented Lydia arrives in El Paso from Mexico to work as a maid for the family, her nearly miraculous bond with the brain-damaged girl elates, then angers, and finally threatens to destroy the troubled family-and Lydia herself.

"Solis' 1970 immigrant epic is very much the Latino cousin of Death of a Salesman." - DENVER POST

FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY: This play contains nudity and extreme situations. It is not appropriate for children.
