Nancy was new to America. She came to
America speaking only her native language.
She brought her 8-year-old son with her. He
was all she had in the world.
They found an apartment in Arcadia. They
were there for only two months when a
neighbor's dog jumped over the fence. The
dog ran toward Nancy's son. Nancy put her
body in between the dog and her son. The dog
stopped when it saw Nancy screaming at it.
