Gran parte de sus familiares ha emigrado a los Estados Unidos, su tío se encuentra desaparecido, su padre recibe misteriosas llamadas telefónicas y la policía secreta ha comenzado a infundir miedo a su familia porque sospecha que están en contra del régimen de Trujillo. Cuando la policía se lleva a su padre, Anita y su madre se esconden para evitar ser capturadas.

Each of the four verses presents the melody in a different form: the arrangement opens with a section for solo or tutti tenors before the choral parts present delicate harmonies, and the final verse introduces an elegant descant.Also available for SS., Now available in Spanish, the book Horn Book called "a realistic and compelling account of a girl growing up too quickly while coming to terms with the cost of freedom."
