Excellent book regarding immigration from Latin America and it's effects on the people and places they live. Many single mothers are leaving their children in countries like Guatamala and Honduras to escape the extreme poverty and corruption, so they can go north, get jobs and send money home to their families. The children they leave behind are broken hearted and bitter about their abandonment and bring that to the US where they illegally migrate, many on the death trains through Mexico. I'll be thinking about this book for a long while.
