An unforgettable tale of life in war-torn El Salvador, from the author of Bitter Grounds.

★ “Seamlessly blends fact with imagination, evoking the trauma of war more vividly than any newspaper account … beautifully illuminating.” —Kirkus Reviews

The last time Nicols saw his mother, she was mortally wounded by gunfire that erupted in a crowded plaza. Watching while her body is dragged away with other victims, Nicols believes that his mother is still alive and vows to find her again. 

Thus begins the young boys harrowing journey through his war-ravaged country.
