i definitely can’t properly articulate the importance of this completely compassionate, humane, honest, and necessary book but i will try. it’s short yet impactful, about the refugee crisis of mexican/central american unaccompanied minors to the U.S. told through the author’s experience volunteering at nyc immigration courts as a translator for the harrowing stories these children live and tell. open your hearts and minds to the narratives of what seems like, but isn’t, an abstract and distant crisis.

This book is important and a subject matter I knew very little about. I appreciate that it was well-researched and factual, but I wanted a bit more emotion. I, however, am impressed by what Luiselli does in less than 100 pages.
