A deeply humanizing and important depiction of the migrant experience. Every person, every “estadounidense” should read this story. I love Lydia, and her story of motherly heroism is unfathomable and also deeply believable. Completely engrossing, heart wrenching, and reverent.

An incredible book! I had a few problems mainly with the fact that words in Spanish are thrown in there to remember the characters speak Spanish. Overall an incredible book
