Did you meet or interview with people who had illegally crossed over to America to prepare for this book? This book is now one of my all-time favorites and I am in awe of it. Hugs from DFW <3.

Amanda Eyre Ward Thank you! Yes, I went to Brownsville and San Diego and met kids who had been caught trying to enter the US illegally. They were brave, hopeful, scared...and won me over completely.
