Between the Lines

In the continuing U.S. debate over illegal immigration, a human face has rarely been shown. This collection of letters between undocumented immigrants in California and their families in Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador reveals the other side of the story. Published for the first time in paperback, this book reveals the often poignant human drama currently being played out along the U.S.-Mexico border. It is the first book that tells the story of these immigrants in their own words, in Spanish and English. It is also of inestimable value to anyone who wants to understand the full dimensions of the problem.
