Description:

This first novel by Mariana Romo-Carmona tells the story of Erica Garcia, a Puerto Rican American lesbian who works at an institution for the developmentally disabled in New England. The traditionally shaped, realist narrative describes a young working-class woman's struggles to keep her love life, her political consciousness, and her demanding, underpaid job afloat despite the obstacles. Garcia, who often gets called Gracia by mistake, also has to hold her own as one of few women of color in a mostly white community. By the end of Living at Night, Garcia has learned more about romantic love, the loyalty of friends, and the powerful, unspoken wisdom of the disabled than she ever expected to.
