I loved this book. The most unique thing about it is that each chapter is named after a bird that lives in the Sonoran desert, and each bird is a metaphor for the challenges that face the protagonist. The birds are a great way to learn about the main character as he learns about his new home in the desert. I strongly recommend this to anyone, and can't wait to reread it soon.
