An astonishing story. I was on the edge of my seat throughout!
Clearly, the author successfully reaches the US since he is looking back to chronicle it. But it's HOW he ultimately succeeds that is so gripping. DON'T peak ahead as you read each chapter! Just read it one page at a time so you can stay with the author as a nine year old, wondering who to trust, not knowing where today's footsteps will take you.
Crossing the Mexican border into the Southwestern US is a vaguely familiar reality/concept to the American public, but this book gives you a GRANULAR experience of immigration at the southern US border.
