Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay In Forty Questions by Valeria Luiselli

5.0

"And once you're here, you're ready to give everything, or almost everything, to stay and play a part in the great theater of belonging."

This is an essential, accessible, short, and thoughtful book for understanding the baseline and the impact of the U.S.'s judicial and political system on children migrating into the U.S. at the U.S.-Mexican border. What children, and adults, must go through to arrive into a system that does so little to accept them. Luiselli captures her experience as a translator with a handling that prioritizes the stories of the children and families she's supported.
