Description
Sixteen portraits of people trapped between the worlds of Mexico and the United States--and ignored on both sides of the border. These are coupled with Urrea's own autobiographical reflections on his experiences coming of age in a Tijuana brothel, serving as a missionary, and shuttling illegals back to Mexico from the United States.

Expert Reviews
"One of the best creative writers in the American west."
"Urrea's unforgettable portraits of people struggling to survive...offer North American readers an understanding of the compelling reasons why tens of thousands of men and women are forced to make the dangerous, illegal journey 'across the wire' into the United States."
