About this month's book from Library Journal: In a book both timely and prodigiously readable, Cummins offers an unrelenting and terrifyingly you-are-there account of a Mexican mother and son fleeing to relatives in America. Lydia had been comfortably running a bookstore in Acapulco, but the charming customer with whom she's become friendly turns out to be the jefe of the newest, cruelest cartel in town. When he's also the subject of her journalist husband's latest reveal-all profile, Lydia and Luca are forced underground and on the run by any means possible.
