Why read it?
1 author picked La Frontera as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I learned from this story why families make the difficult decision to split up and send a father and a child on a dangerous journey for a better life. This family lives in Mexico, facing hunger and destitution. The father and his son became migrants. They walked to America, knowing that they could be split up or one of them die.
In this book, I learned about the Mexican-American War, and the atrocious US policy of splitting migrant children from their parents.
From Nicki's list on asylum-seeking and displaced children and war.
