A nine-year-old crosses deserts, climbs fences, and is detained on his journey to reunite with his parents. As an adult, he writes about his trip from El Salvador to the U.S. – a journey which is marked by displacement and resilience. Zamora tells the story of those who traveled with him along the U.S. border, capturing moments of danger and tenderness within a community bound by fate. His lyrical prose carries real experiences, tracing memories that continue to glow in the present.
