The girl in the glass box
Grippando, James
Genre:
Julia Rodriguez and her teenage daughter Beatriz escaped bloodthirsty gangs
random violence and
Julia's abusive husband back in El Salvador. Arriving in Miami
mother and daughter struggled to carve their own piece of the American dream. While life in the States is hard
it is safer
until Julia's rejects her boss's unwanted sexual advances. Suddenly—thanks to an "anonymous" tip to U. S. immigration authorities—she is arrested
locked in detention with criminals
and slated for deportation. Jack's only viable legal move to save her is asylum—a long shot that’s become nearly impossible in today’s charged political climate. When Julia and Beatriz made the perilous trek north to freedom
they thought they’d left the danger behind them. But now
even Miami isn’t safe. A ruthless enemy may have tracked them to south Florida and is biding time
patiently waiting to strike. In a case where the stakes have never been higher
Jack Sywteck may not be able to save his client—even if he wins.
