Libretto is an opera-formatted novel. Sue doesn't have an opera voice, but loves Pavorotti and opera. Her husband, Vic, loves her enough to overlook the theatrical version of life that Sue lives in. He is a realist, a black ops army guy who leaves for an undercover operation early in their marriage. Sue fears for his safety as his operation is extended, leaving her alone and lost. Vic sends her a dog to love her while he's away. The dog, named Luchie, leads her to Antonio, a dog walker, who is avoiding the gang life in his Mexican neighborhood. She learns of his incredible voice and offers to fund voice coaching. We follow Vic's risky mission and the common instability he experiences on his return. This raises serious marriage problems for the young couple. He pleads for a family; she resists. Antonio attempts to avoid the gang life and searches for his real father. He is the model for his foster siblings in the Esperanza home as he hopes to reach his musical goal.
