Chapter One

Maria de la Rosa knelt on the filthy bathroom floor, scrubbing the toilet in the master bathroom of the house she dreaded cleaning every week. The single man who lived there was an absolute pig.

OK, his dad said, clearly befuddled.

Maria looked in horror as the doctor dug a stainless steel instrument sharply into the skin on the bottom of her father’s feet. Just looking at it made her cringe. She glanced up and saw her father acting as if
