Really enjoyed reading this book and learned a lot about the Mexican immigrants flowing into the U.S. About Serafina, an illegal immigrant worker living in CA when the police catch and send her back to Mexico, without her 3 yr old daughter. She is in Mexico for 12 years before she risks another trip across the border to find he daughter. Brutally honest!
