The novel concludes with an image of Sofia and Diego gazing at the Dallas skyline, holding hands and surrounded by their children. In their eyes shines the light of hope, the strength of struggle and the joy of having built a meaningful life in the land of opportunity.

Sofia and Diego's story reminds us that life is full of challenges, but also of opportunities. It teaches us that the American dream is not an unattainable utopia, but a path that is built with effort, perseverance, solidarity and a heart full of hope.
