Summary:

"Winner of the Casa de Teatro Prize (Dominican Republic). A fine novella distinguished by insight and sensitivity. A candid look at a young opera singer, what happens backstage before and during performances, and what happens when unexpected turns in life leave one facing the not-so-cliché reality that the show must go on... Damiana is the lead in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, and leading up to the opening day's performance a sequence of unexpected events -- from a surprise family reunion that forces her to analyze her past, to facing the consequences of the domestic abuse she and her siblings endured, on through finding the answer to a very painful question -- culminate to leave her world forever altered."--From Amazon.com.
