Selection Statement:

This wonderful exploration of the migrant crisis on the US-Mexico border blends fiction and nonfiction storytelling techniques, with a strong undercurrent of activism and magical realism. It’s truly a masterpiece, and inspiring to me as a fiction and nonfiction writer who is committed to global social issues.
