Absolutely loved Salazar's second book exploring the current crisis of human rights violations against undocumented immigrants to the United States from the perspective of a young girl. It's a challenging book, and doesn't shy away from the horrors seen in detention facilities, but ultimately provides a little hope that when we listen to immigrant voices, we can make change.
