Description

Deluvina is wrapping the Christmas tamales at the kitchen table with Francisca and Maria Esperanza when there's a knock at the door. A tall Anglo about thirty-five years old stands on the step, smiling with straight teeth. His sandy blonde hair, mussed by the cold December wind, is in need of a trim, and he hasn't shaved in a few days. If it weren't for the teeth--and the dusty Ford parked under the cottonwood, its engine still clicking as it cools--Deluvina might have thought he was on foot, begging food, passing through. "Buenos dias, Senora," he begins. "Pot favor, tengo una pregunta para usted."
