Read by Christine Lakin.

"Emma is a young woman who has just moved from New York to Brazil. She came for her husband's career, with no job prospects of her own, a weak grasp of the language, and a deep ambivalence about having a child. Her early days in Sao Paulo are listless but privileged; she dines at high-end restaurants, tutors wealthy Brazilians in English, and observes the city she now calls home. As massive demonstrations against the government spread across the country amid growing economic inequality, Emma begins to volunteer at a local church to assist refugees and becomes deeply connected to the people she meets there. Soon she is unable to resist the tug of political and social unrest, and as the country moves seemingly closer to a breaking point, so does Emma's marriage, until she and her husband can no longer ignore the silent, tectonic shifts beneath the surface of their relationship."--,Provided by publisher.
