Infinite Country by Patricia Engel

5.0

Beautiful book and very sad throughout, except for the ending. Unfortunately a countless number of families are still waiting for their happy endings and remain separated. I challenge anyone to read this book and conclude that our immigration system in the U.S. is anything but cruel and unfair. This book may be “fiction,” but the struggles presented throughout are all too real. Not just the separation of family members, but having to live in fear, not fitting in at school or work, not being able to trust anyone, having people take advantage of you because of your status. Coming to a new land to seek opportunity should never be something someone is punished for. I have no doubt this country would be a much more welcoming place if everyone were required to read “Infinite Country.”
