What Members Thought
Though set in Morocco, not Mexico, and the body of water crossed is the Mediterranean, not the Rio Grande, the stories of the desperate immigrants told in this book are eerily similar to those of many new Texans. The writing is lovely and the stories are captivating.
Required reading for class so I had to force myself to read this, however learning about different cultures and countries was interesting.
