Francisco CantĂș: The Line Becomes a River (Paperback, 2019, Riverhead Books) 4 stars

Review of 'The Line Becomes a River' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A somber glimpse into the shocking reality of Border Patrol agents and families crossing the US/Mexico border in hope of a better life. Cantu brings the rich pathos of families longing for unity, people just trying to escape corruption and gangs for a better chance at life. The current US president should read this book, along with all legislators and most voters, and see how their perspectives change on closing America to all for the sake of a tiny minority using methods that don't work. This book is gripping and personal; highly recommended for all.
