Sarah's take

About the book

A Mexican-American border agent's idealistic mission to understand immigration becomes a haunting reckoning with violence, complicity, and moral fracture. Cantú's memoir weaves together his four years patrolling the desert with the story of a friend facing deportation, creating a deeply personal exploration of what it means to belong and what we're willing to sacrifice in the name of duty.
