Description
The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches from the Mexican Border by Francisco Cantú A gripping memoir of life as a US Border Patrol agent, and the moral dilemmas that come with defending a border that is increasingly blurred. Francisco Cantú recounts his experiences tracking humans through blistering days and frigid nights, detaining the exhausted and hauling in the dead. As he navigates the complexities of his role, Cantú begins to question the very purpose of his work. Haunted by nightmares, he eventually abandons the Patrol for civilian life, only to face a final confrontation with the world he thought he had left behind. A raw and compelling account that challenges readers to consider the human cost of border politics.
