Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })American Dirt is a 2020 novel by Jeanine Cummins. It tells the story of Lydia Pérez, an average bookstore owner living in Acapulco, Mexico, with her loving husband Sebastián and her young son, Luca. She has a close friendship with Javier, a gentleman who frequents her store. Lydia’s life is comfortable, albeit living in Acapulco is not always easy—especially with the increasing violence of the cartels wreaking havoc on the city, including Los Jardineros, a newer cartel already making a name for their savage punishments on those who don’t comply with them. Sebastián’s job as a journalist speaking out against Los Jardineros was always risky, but Lydia’s life is shattered forever when she discovers that the kingpin of the cartel is none other than Javier.What follows is the brutal slaughtering of Sebastián, Lydia’s mother, and fourteen other members of Lydia’s family. Despite the overwhelming grief of such a tragedy, Lydia quickly realizes that Javier has his sights set on her and Luca. Lydia sets in motion her desperate plan to flee to the U.S. in hopes of keeping herself and Luca safe from Los Jardineros—a plan that will be dangerous at every turn, as there seems to be nowhere that the Los Jardineros aren’t watching.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |
