The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches from the Border by Francis Cantú "A beautiful, fiercely honest, and deeply empathetic look at those who police the border and the migrants who cross it." For Francisco, the border is in the blood: his mother, a park ranger and daughter of a Mexican immigrant, raised him in the scrublands of the Southwest. Haunted by the landscape of his youth, Cantú joins the Border Patrol. He is posted to remote regions crisscrossed by drug routes and smuggling corridors, where they learn to track other humans under blistering sun and through frigid nights. They haul in the dead and deliver to detention those they find alive. Cantú tries not to think where the stories go from there.
