I read this back in January, but I still think about it regularly. Luiselli shares stories and reflections from her experience as a volunteer interviewing unaccompanied minors who have crossed the Mexico border into the United States. The 40 specific questions she must ask each child, the answers to which will be used to determine their fate, is also used to format her brief but powerful essay. She skillfully explores their reasons for coming, the process of their journey, and the reality that awaits them here in the United States. This is exactly the book I needed as a citizen, and it is one we desperately need as a country. It is an urgent, powerful read that I would highly recommend.
