Children of the Land by Marcelo Hernandez Castillo
Named an NPR Best Book of the Year and written by a prize-winning poet, Castillo’s memoir is about the joys and sorrows of an undocumented family torn apart by draconian immigration policies.  With beauty, grace and honesty, he recounts his and his family’s encounters with a system that treats them as criminals for seeking safe, ordinary lives.
