- Summary:
- "The Grand Paloma Resort is a lush paradise in the Dominican Republic where the guests enjoy incredible luxury, and the staff is always eager to please-that is, until they are pushed to the brink"-- Provided by publisher.
- Vida is a curandera, a local healer, who has been called to the resort to attend to a crisis. A young guest lies unconscious due to negligent resort childcare. Vida wants nothing to do with it, as she has her own unborn child to think about. Laura, a mid-level manager at the Grand Paloma Resort, is forced to call Vida for help. She's made it this far through sheer hard work. Her brainchild, which pairs platinum guests with a resort employee to attend to their every need, has been wildly successful. She's mere weeks away from a promotion that will blaze a path off the resort, to a life of freedom and opportunity. If only her little sister, Elena, could get with the program. Elena has tried her best to live up to her own ideals and her sister's expectations; to escape the endless monotony of her life, she's become increasingly dependent on pills and partying. As a babysitter at the resort, she's at the mercy of guests who are only interested in having fun, cheating on each other, and getting a break from their screen-addicted kids. Now one of those kids is believed to be dead and it's all her fault. At a local beachfront watering hole, Elena runs into the child's father. High and clueless, he offers her an obscene amount of money to give him private time with two young local girls. Elena pockets the cash and prays she's gotten the girls out of harm's way--until they disappear.
