Infinite Country follows a family as they move from Colombia to the US—exposing readers to the darker realities of pursuing "The American Dream." Eventually, half of the family ends up back in Colombia, and the other half remains in the United States. Every page is impactful and thoughtful, but you also feel so much tension as the characters navigate their challenging situations. I was invested in the characters and their journeys and loved the writing—highly recommend!
