Alma Cruz wishes her willful teenage daughter, Luz, could know the truth
about her past, but there are things Luz can never know about the
journey Alma took to the US to find her missing father. In 2000--three years after the disappearance of her father, who left
Oaxaca to work on farms in California--Alma sets out on a perilous trek
north with her sister, Rosa. What happens once she reaches the US is a
journey from despair to hope. Timeless in its depiction of the depths of family devotion and the blaze
of first love, Luz conveys, with compassion and insight, the plight of those desperate to cross the US border.
