Nicolasa leaves her native country of Puerto Rico with an open heart and a suitcase full of dreams. When she arrives in New York, she is faced with the reality of her new life: the neighborhood where her aunt Ana lives is nothing like the picturesque world of her dreams. Nicolasa finds living with her aunt to be a challenge-and a wonderful experience. Like many other immigrants in New York, Nicolasa seeks to fulfill her dreams and achieve a better life for herself and her siblings, who come to live with her. Were You There? is not the story of one ethnic group's struggles. People from all over the world have come to the United States seeking opportunity. This book's title is a question that could be asked by many people.
