Let It Rain Coffee
Esperanza did not risk her life fleeing the Dominican Republic to live in a tenement in Washignton Heights. No, she left for the glittering dream she saw on television: JR, Bobby Ewing and the crystal chandeliers of 'Dallas'. But years later, she is still stuck in a cramped apartment with her husband, Santo, and their two children, Bobby and Dallas. She works as a home aide and, at night, stuffs unopened bills from the credit card company in her lingerie drawer where Santo won't find them when he returns from driving his livery cab. Despite their best efforts, they cannot seem to change their present circumstances. But when Santo's mother dies, back in Los Llanos, and his father, Don Chan, comes to Nueva York to live out his twilight years in the Colons small apartment, nothing will ever be the same.
