Description
Blending memoir, essay, and urgent reflection, this book follows a volunteer translator’s work with child immigrants and the stories that pass through her hands—stories shaped by bureaucracy, fear, and the fragile hope of safety. With compassion and clarity, she examines how U.S. immigration systems process human lives, revealing the emotional and moral costs hidden inside paperwork and procedure. Part personal testimony and part call to action, the book asks what it means to listen, to translate, and to insist that “how it ends” is not inevitable. Luiselli’s distinctive, lyrical intelligence—grounded in humility rather than authority—turns lived experience into a wider meditation on empathy, justice, and the possibility of rebuilding what has been broken.
