A lovely story about a terrible journey
American DirtAlthough the stories of migrants trying to escape from South America to USA are fraught with terrible sadness and horrific details of danger and loss, this book leaves one amazed and uplifted by the strength and charm of the main characters. I do admire this ability of some authors to paint reality without sugar-glossing it, but still allow humanity and courage to shine through. I was sad to say goodbye to these remarkable humans and wanted to know what happened to them afterwards!
