“A beautiful book, awesomely reported, and written with great empathy. The focus remains squarely on rehumanizing those most harmed by US immigration policies.”
— Heidi Ostertag, executive producer of Oh Mercy—Searching for Hope in The Promised Land, by Worldwide Documentaries
“A powerful work. Sweeping and majestic and a striking, flowing synthesis to tell the overall story that needs to be told.”
—Camilo Perez-Bustillo, author of Human Rights, Hegemony, and Utopia in Latin America
"I challenge any reader to pick up this book and not be shaken, disturbed, and ultimately committed to a better and more just world. Towle beautifully renders moments of humanity in a fundamentally inhumane system."
