  • 本書介紹
幸運與不幸，在心的一念之間，一個年輕的猶太女孩，移民到紐約展開新生活卻發生了車禍，變調的美國夢沒有擊垮她，面對文化差異、不同語言、身體上的痛楚，勇敢與痛苦周旋。受困在病床上時，她的觀察力和與心靈並沒有受困於病床上反而因此強大，作者根據自己的童年經歷編寫了這本書，文字抒情豐富，探討的 種族、宗教、階級、性別的差異發人省思。

In this unforgettable multicultural coming-of-age narrative—based on the author’s childhood in the 1960s—a young Cuban-Jewish immigrant girl is adjusting to her new life in New York City when her American dream is suddenly derailed. Ruthie’s plight will intrigue readers, and her powerful story of strength and resilience, full of color, light, and poignancy, will stay with them for a long time. 

Ruthie Mizrahi and her family recently emigrated from Castro’s Cuba to New York City. Just when she’s finally beginning to gain confidence in her mastery of English—and enjoying her reign as her neighborhood’s hopscotch queen—a horrific car accident leaves her in a body cast and confined her to her bed for a long recovery. As Ruthie’s world shrinks because of her inability to move, her powers of observation and her heart grow larger and she comes to understand how fragile life is, how vulnerable we all are as human beings, and how friends, neighbors, and the power of the arts can sweeten even the worst of times.
