No Sex and in the City

In the winter of 1974, just a few days shy of her tenth birthday, Josie and her family arrive in New York City to start their new life. Having traveled all the way from the Dominican Republic, Josie and her siblings face a culture shock. Adjusting to an English-speaking school proves difficult, and the task of making friends seems nearly impossible. As Josie grows, she learns to embrace this strange new world as her own, and discovers friendships that will stand the test of time. No Sex and in the City is a richly authentic portrait of a woman as she navigates the joys and disappoints of life and how she came to find true love in the end.
