The Line Becomes a River

Compassion. In a finely written book titled, The Line Becomes a River, Francisco Cantu presents his experience and the stories of others about the border between the United States and Mexico. Some of Cantu’s stories come from his time as a Border Patrol agent and others are from before and after that time. What this book does so well is humanize the complexity of the border and the politics associated with immigration. Readers enter briefly into the lives of individuals and their experiences, and the result for most readers will be an increase in compassion for people.
