Summary/Abstract: Lucia Santa identifies her American dream in purchasing a home in Long Island, moving the entire family there. The struggles have not ended for Lucia Santa, although the reader could argue that she and her family have basically accomplished their happiness. In this particular respect, Lucia Santa has in fact touched her American dream. With both excitement for her new location and sadness for leaving the place of so many memories, she is eventually living the American dream. The old matrons on the block give her a fitting and respectful farewell. This closes the chapter on Lucia Santa’s urban tale and the life she has known for so many years: out on Tenth Avenue three women clothed in black waited for her with folded arms.
