There isn't much of a storyline to most of it: for the most part, Luciente shows Connie around, and Connie asks a lot of bombastic questions about what she is seeing, and seems very resistant to most of the changes in the future. I found Connie's time traveling to be rather tedious. She frequently travels to the future to learn about Luciente's world, which is an anti-capitalist, eco-feminist utopia. Connie learns that her empathy and ability to connect with people gives her the ability to time travel. While all of this is going on in her daily life, she is visited by Luciente, a woman from the future. For that, she is unjustly put in a horrible mental institution where she is kept on heavy sedatives and subjected to medical experiments. She has a beloved niece, and she gets in an argument with her niece's pimp and hits him in the face with a glass bottle. She lives alone (she has been twice widowed, and her daughter has been taken away by Child Protection Services). The book is about Connie, a Latina in New York City. This is one of those books that I didn't necessarily read because I was enjoying it, but because it's an important contribution to its genre.
