And then thereÕs the massive metal tank that rises up over their crowded North end neighborhood. The ugly tank, filled with sticky brown molasses, has always leaked. but nobody imagined that it could one day explode apart, sending a tsunami of molasses into the streets.

Caught in the flood, Carmen must fight for her life Ñ the life that she and Papa built together in America. but where will she find the strength?
