And how did she get to New York? Her parents evade her questions, fueling Linda's uneasiness about her identity. Only Ramon, a Cuban immigrant her age, seems to understand. Together, they escape to the hideout she and Ramon built. Then a strange, foreign man appears at the hideout, and right away Linda feels connected to him. She soon discovers that Ramon's wayward brother knows the man, and learns that immigrants - even illegal ones - come to the United States for many reasons.
