During the holiday season, ice skating on Miller Pond is the main social outlet for the town. To Olivia Miller, her hometown is the perfect place to live. But the town is dying, and there's only one way to save it. Thomas Baker plans to spend another Christmas alone until he is offered a chance to supervise the construction of a new road. His excitement fades when he finds out the job is in East Kansas, the one place he swore never tp return to. Besides avoiding one man who lives there, Thomas must protect his heart against the young girl who stole it fifteen years ago. According Thomas Baker, a new road through the mountains--and Olivia's pond--is the only way to ease the town's economic struggle. As much as she wants to hate the man hired to build the road and destroy her family's legacy, she also finds herself inexplicably drawn to him. Just as Olivia and Thomas begin to kindle a relationship, history between their two families surfaces. The past threatens to kill both their futures as well as the road. Will this be the last Christmas for East Kansas?
Download or read book The Maid s Daughter written by Mary Romero and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a very young age, Olivia left her family and traditions in Mexico to live with her mother, Carmen, in one of Los Angeles's most exclusive and nearly all-white gated communities. Based on over twenty years of research, Romero brings Olivia's remarkable story to life. We watch as she struggles through adolescence, declares her independence and eventually goes off to college and becomes a successful professional. Much of her story is told in Olivia's voice and we hear of both her triumphs and her setbacks. Romero explores this story about belonging, identity, and resistance, illustrating Olivia's challenge to establish her sense of identity, and the patterns of inclusion and exclusion in her life. Romero points to the hidden costs of paid domestic labor that are transferred to the families of private household workers and nannies, and shows how everyday routines are important in maintaining and assuring that various forms of privilege are passed on from one generation to another. She shows how mythologies of meritocracy, the land of opportunity, and the American dream remain firmly in place while simultaneously erasing injustices and the struggles of the working poor.
