When anyone enters the country without documentation, they are asked a series of questions. Luiselli volunteers as an interpreter for unaccompanied minors when they have to answer these questions.
This is definitely profound and complex. This isn’t an easy issue, but anything that looks to label and divide skews complicated. My hope is that people find compassion, but I am keenly aware of the times in which I live.
The title refers to Luiselli’s daughter asking her to tell her how a story ends when she recounts a day’s work. The difficult part is not knowing where the story ends. That makes for heartbreaking moments.
