Informative about the questions that unaccompanied minors entering the US as refugees are asked.Â
--An important glimpse at some of the details of the process.

Broke my heart, but gave me hope in the end that things in the US will get better and that there are people who will not only fight for change but persevere through everything thrown at them.

“Telling stories doesn’t solve anything, doesn’t reassemble broken lives. But perhaps it is a way of understanding the unthinkable.”
A personal catharsis from Luiselli: this book exposes a quick yet informative insight of the process immigrant children and teenagers must face when heading and arriving US in order to find answers of questions they haven’t even made.
