American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins
4.0

Lydia lost most of her family and her husband by a bloody massacre thanks to a drug cartel. Lydia and her son Luca run for their lives to escape the cartel and decide to flee to America. On their way to America they meet people who are fleeing as well and find out their stories.
This was an emotional, gritty story of survival and to escape something horrible. I really enjoyed the story, but did find some slow points in the story. Highly recommend.
