Synopsis
"There is a pathway traveled by migrants that cuts away from the Mexican border as it slithers north through the Arizona desert up to Interstate 8. Migrants know this highway as la Ocho , the road that takes them to a better life, but the trail that leads to that highway is ruthless and unforgiving." In Sonora, a group of immigrants circles around a coyote , Leonardo Cerda, who will, for a price, lead them across the treacherous desert to the United States. Fearful that Cerda may be one of those who will collect their money up front and then leave them stranded to die, the travelers ultimately are forced to put their trust in him and begin the dangerous crossing to a new life. Afraid even of each other, they initially avoid eye contact or conversation. But as the three-day passage across the blistering landscape progresses, the fight to survive the grueling trip ensures that their lives, and deaths, are linked forever. While trudging along, placing one exhausted foot in front of the other, the travelers each remember their lives and the reasons they have been forced to abandon their land, homes and loved ones. Among the immigrants is Menda Fuentes, a salvadoreña , the only member of her family to survive a massacre during her countrys civil war. Then there is Julio Escalante and his young grandson Manuelito, who pay the full fee even though they plan to go only halfway. By their side is Encarnación Padilla, an ancient indigenous woman who has survived ostracism and her involvement in the Zapatista uprising. Next to her walk Nicanor and Borrego Osuna, two brothers who suffer the ultimate indignity just to make it to the United States. Finally, there is Armando Guerrero, shifty, suspicious-looking, and clearly different from the rest because of his fancy clothes as well as the mysterious bag to which he clings. In addition to confronting their own internal demons, they must also face the dangers that they encounter on the trail: poisonous snakes, debilitating dehydration and exhaustion, and a ferocious sandstorm that tears the group apart. This riveting novel explores the lives behind the news stories and confirms Limóns status as one of the countrys premiere Latinas writing about issues that affect us all.

- 1***9 (73)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI haven’t used the product therefore I don’t know it works. The seller did a good job in shipping and packing. Thank you.
- r***s (34)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimo annoAcquisto verificatoMy experience with eBay is far superior to my experience with Amazon who half the time can’t ship what you purchase and it’s always delayed if you get it, if at all. I had not purchased a lot from eBay in the past, but I’m doing it a lot more now, especially when it comes to things like old movies that are still new and in the original packaging. They seem to always have what they post, which appears to be one of the problems with Amazon. They post things their sellers do not have.Cary Grant The Gentlemen’s Collection (Dvd 7-Disc Set) BRAND NEW & SEALED (N° 176144830970)
