But first, it must be built. For Francisco, a local fisherman who resents the foreign powers clamoring for a slice of his country, nothing is more upsetting than the decision of his son, Omar, to work as a digger in the excavation zone. But for Omar, whose upbringing was quiet and lonely, this job offers a chance to finally find connection. Ada Bunting is a bold sixteen-year-old from Barbados who arrives in Panama as a stowaway alongside thousands of other West Indians seeking work. Alone and with no resources, she is determined to find a job that will earn enough money for her ailing sister's surgery. When she sees a young man, Omar, who has collapsed after a grueling shift, she is the only one who rushes to his aid. John Oswald has dedicated his life to scientific research and has journeyed to Panama in single-minded pursuit of one goal: eliminating malaria. But now, his wife, Marian, has fallen ill herself, and when he witnesses Ada's bravery and compassion, he hires her on the spot as a caregiver. This fateful decision sets in motion a sweeping tale of ambition, loyalty, and sacrifice. 830 0 $a Read with Jenna. 941 $a 7 945 $a lpt 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611021608.0 952 $l WUPB305 $d 20240606010828.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20240604013933.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20240604013253.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409013005.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240402012102.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240402010954.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=538FEE8CF0B611EE96A0B47C3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
