This is the story of the travels of Antonio Beltrán, a migrant farm worker from Mexico. The descriptions of landscapes are as accurate as the characters in the story, and here is an opportunity to look at what may be a different side to immigration for some, because the author has met many of what American politicians are prone to label 'illegal aliens.' The story becomes contemporary by introducing cartel activity that the author considers the scourge of Mexico. It is also an opportunity to understand the feelings and concerns of some of our neighbors south of the border.
