Felipe is 12, his sister Romy eight, when his father "disappears" from home in El Salvador. The children and their young mother flee for their lives but to new troubles as refugees in Guatemala, then Mexico, Texas, and at last Wisconsin. This work of fiction was inspired by the stories of a Salvadoran family who lived with the author's family while waiting for Canadian citizenship.
Editorial : From Publishers Weekly Temple addresses the plight of Salvadoran refugees in this follow-up to Taste of Salt , her powerful portrayal of strife in contemporary Haiti.

The arduous and uncertain journey that follows forms the bulk of the novel. Temple's characters are wholly credible, express
