Property of Nobody - Paperback

Perfect for fans of We Are Not From Here-this searing novel introduces an unaccompanied minor from Honduras who flees murdering coyotes, only to become ensnared by human traffickers.

Freedom is not free.

After his father is executed by smugglers, Te?dulo escapes and continues the harrowing journey toward the United States alone. He's hunted. A debt is owed. At the border, violent cartel members capture him and force him into brutal labor because everybody pays to cross, one way or another.

He doesn't speak English. He doesn't know where he is, and his jailers beat, threaten, and abuse him. They say he'll be arrested if he tries to run. He's illegal. Nobody cares about him. Nobody is missing him or will mourn his death.

The American dream is a nightmare.

Gripping and haunting, Property of Nobody is an unflinching look at the dark underbelly of immigration, human trafficking, organized crime, and the desperation of children caught in this web.
