collection of personal anecdotes from a collection of Wisconsin Dairy farm owners and some of their workers, mostly of Mexican descent and undocumented, and how they have more in common than not; except in my opinion that the workers here, how candid can they really be?

I appreciated hearing about the bridges program so dairy owners can visit their employees' homes in Mexico, and that most of the workers are working as hard as they can in grueling, unforgiving jobs that most Americans will not take, so they can better afford a life back home.

The true hardships of these workers to cross the border, safely, is hard to read about, and i found the otherwise rosy tone odd. of course the workers will speak kindly of their employers? Also, the stories began to feel repetitive and there's no true investigation into what it will take to change things, beyond personal opinions and attitudes.

that said, i think this would be a book you could hand to your up north fam and acquaintances that they might actually read, and learn something from.
