Requests:  0 Summary:  When Aida Hernandez was born in 1987 in Agua Prieta, Mexico, the nearby U.S. border was little more than a worn-down fence. Eight years later Aida's mother took her and her siblings to live in Douglas, Arizona. By then the border had become one of the most heavily policed sites in America. Undocumented, Aida learned English, had a baby at sixteen, and dreamed of teaching dance. A misstep led to her deportation, and Aida found herself in a Mexican city marked by violence, in a country that was not hers. To get back to the United States and reunite with her son, she embarked on a harrowing journey. Bobrow-Strain reveals the human consequences of militarizing what was once a more forgiving border. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 972.1 Hernandez Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 972.1 Hernandez Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Biography B Hernandez Strain Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Biography B Hernandez Bo Damaged Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Biography B Hernandez Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Biography B Hernandez Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
