wow. i’m still feeling emotional about this book, and the tears haven’t stopped. javier’s journey from el salvador to the u.s. border was far from easy, and reading about the obstacles that came along the way had me feeling anxious, worried, angry, and everything in between. from the minute i started reading this, it hit close to home as i thought about my parents’ journey to the u.s. for a better life. i highly recommend everyone read this book — especially with everything going on in the u.s. today.

Wow
This book took me a bit to read. It starts off slow but engaging. Midway through, it almost feels fictional and by the end I was sobbing. First book to truly give me some genuine insight into the process of migrating into the US. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I hope you find Carla, Chino and Patricia.
