Mehso-so

As illegal immigration continues to be an emotional topic, this book couldn't be more timely. The author describes the illegal border crossings of Hector and Lilia and ponders the motivations of the main characters when they chose this risk. I liked the story and how the author developed the main characters and how she explored their relationship with their ups and downs. The reason for only giving a so-so rating were the wooden dialogues in book.

Set in my state of South Carolina, this novel focuses on a couple who risks everything to cross into the United States as undocumented workers. It is compassionate and shows the incredible dangers and challenges of getting into this country via the border with Mexico.
