This book is an eye-opening story about the fictional, yet rooted in reality, experiences of two teenage sisters during the post-9/11 crackdown on illegal immigrants in the US. It provides the basis for a better understanding of what immigrants have endured and continue to endure and offers the opportunity for increased compassion towards other people.
