Description
When falling crop prices threaten his family with starvation, Victor's only hope is to cross the border into the United States. With no coyote money to pay the smugglers who sneak illegal workers across the border, he must rely on his own resourcefulness to survive.
Victor's perilous journey takes him through freezing cold temperatures and scorching heat, as he jumps trains, stows away on trucks, and hikes grueling miles through the Arizona desert. His struggle is fraught with danger, hunger, and dead ends, but Victor refuses to give up.
This gripping tale brings to life one of the great human dramas of our time, as Will Hobbs masterfully weaves together a story of courage, resilience, and determination.
