Title: The Shadow of the Promised Land – Book 1: The Brazilian Mirage
Summary:
Tanora, a young Caribbean student, thought she had found her path in Brazil. Forced to abandon her dream of medicine for Contemporary Art, she learns to transform her nostalgia into colors and survive in an urban jungle far from her loved ones. But in 2022, a silent earthquake shakes the diaspora: the announcement of the Biden administration's "Parole" program. Suddenly, Brazil is no longer a welcoming land, but a feverish waiting room for the United States.
Amidst this collective hysteria, Tanora faces an impossible choice. On one side stands Fito, her cousin and confidant settled in the USA, powerless to help her as he is undocumented himself. On the other stands Antoine Valencourt, a wealthy community "benefactor" ready to sponsor her... but on one condition: that she become his possession, his wife, his prisoner in a gilded cage in Florida.
Narrated by Fito, a lucid witness haunted by his own crossing, this first volume chronicles the end of innocence. Between the security of domestic slavery and the mortal danger of the clandestine migration route, Tanora must decide what her freedom is truly worth.
What is the cost of the American Dream when the only currency is one's dignity?
