This book does not have the tightest writing or the best character development. Flipping between two people and their points of view caused me to lose interest in the book for a while. BUT, the topic is timely and heartbreaking. The contrast between the undocumented child coming to the US from Honduras, not for a better life or the "American dream", but for a life or at least a chance at life, and the averagely-successful American woman who longed for a child was staggering and eye-opening.
This book was so well-researched that the descriptions became vivid and painful. And the quote at the end: "These children have the spiritual capital that Americans need" made me see my own life a little more clearly.
