An ordinary woman, born and raised in a Brazilian shantytown, comes to the United States hoping to find enlightenment through college education.
After the September 11th attacks, however, her American dream turns into a nightmare when she finds herself in the midst of a terrorism investigation.
Her nightmare becomes surreal when abusive strangers try to use her as a fishing lure to retaliate against a local congressman, who is accusing the Bush administration of lying about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Then, the unthinkable happens and she discovers a side of America that she wished not to know.
She keeps a diary of the events. And when almost nothing is left of who she used to be, she turns the pages of her diary into a manuscript, which later becomes this book.
