many illegal immigrants who live among us.

Hart injects her own sharp perceptions regarding the circumstances
of illegals in the United States, and there are unique insights
into the riots following the Rodney King verdict as well... Well

of illegal immigrants with authenticity and compassion. Using
testimonies gathered over seven years, Hart makes the plight of an
undocumented woman clear.

A beautiful and sensitive oral history of an indomitable Nicaraguan
woman who—when life became impossible in her own nation—made the
difficult journey to the United States only to face the many
hardships of an undocumented immigrant in Los Angeles. Very
moving!
