“What if it were him on television, explaining science to the masses? He's no meteorologist. He doesn't have a fancy degree. But he might do the job with ease, same as her. What separates them? Opportunity? The fact she was born here, and he on the island? We're just a slave-ship stop away from each other.”
Alejandro Heredia, Loca

“Someone approaches Renata as she walks to Sal. He doesn't know who the woman is, but Renata seems to know. She touches the woman's shoulder. Laughs at something she says. Hugs her before ending their quick exhange.

"I can't stand that bitch." Renana says...”
Alejandro Heredia, Loca

“What’s worse than leaving your life, your world, to begin again in a place that wants your working hands but not your culture, language, history? Than living in this new place, feeling torn in half, of two places, but somehow from neither at once?”
Alejandro Heredia, Loca
