*Advance Praise and Reviews*"Recounts a reservoir of community, ingenuity, and commitment. . . . JUST WHAT WE NEED in this moment." --Simone Campbell, SSS, author, A Nun on the Bus This is the story of America writ small--a nation founded by immigrants and its shifting, oft-contradictory attitudes toward them. Since 1978, El Paso's Annunciation House has welcomed over half a million people: migrants and refugees, doing what humans have always done to find sustenance and safety, and volunteers seeking meaning and purpose. Through this chronicle of their individual journeys, Mary Fontana exposes the forces driving global migration and challenges readers to confront the borders in their own hearts.
