La historia de la huida desesperada de una madre y su hijo desde Acapulco rumbo a Estados Unidos, perseguidos por un cartel de narcos.

Lydia Quijano Pérez vive en Acapulco, México, donde regenta una librería. Tiene un hijo de ocho años, Luca, el amor de su vida, y un maravilloso esposo que es periodista. Y aunque la situación en Acapulco comienza a agrietarse debido a los cárteles de la droga, Lydia lleva una vida confortable.

Un día llega un hombre a la librería y compra cuatro libros, entre los que se encuentran dos de las obras favoritas de Lydia, que pensaba que nunca se iban a vender. Javier es erudito y encantador. Lo que Lydia no sabe es que es también el jefe del nuevo cártel que se ha apoderado de la ciudad. Cuando el esposo de Lydia publica un revelador artículo sobre Javier en el periódico local, la vida de Lydia y su familia cambiará para siempre.

Forzados a huir y convertidos en migrantes, Lydia y Luca pronto se encuentran a kilómetros de su cómoda existencia. Viajan en La Bestia, nombre con el que se conocen los trenes que se dirigen hacia Estados Unidos, el único lugar donde Javier no podrá encontrarlos. Cuando se unen a las innumerables personas que intentan llegar al norte, Lydia se da cuenta de que todos huyen de algo. Pero ¿hacia qué huyen exactamente?

Education is key in writing something like this when you are not the person experiencing this events. I do not understand much as to why this book is not like. I do believe if you have not experience anything like this before this book is great to read. This book can sow the seed that allows others to look into the fact about what is going on in other countries, why the need to cross to USA. I really hope people really read this book all the way to the end. I did look at google to educate myself more I watch documentaries on Youtube about the beast, La bestia. I now give so much thanks to God Elohim for the life I have. I will pray more for the people who are trying to come to USA and for those who couldn't make it. Please read this book, open your mind and always show kindness to all the humans that pass your way and look different than you. This book is great and I believe Jeanine Cummins should be thank for being a voice to tell a story that many a will not dare to tell to anyone.

Highly recommend

Una historia trágica y triste pero con personajes hermosos. La narración de Diana Torres es excelente también.

To write about a particular country culture or the people of the country
Michner wrote about Hawaii, Poland
Alaska, Texas etc - you must do a lot of research and have the ability to touch
people’s souls.

Jeanine is an amazing writer so profound. I am second generation Mexican born in Los Angeles. You do not have to be Mexican to

Escuché la versión en español narrada por Diana Torres, quien en mi opinión, le dio vida a la historia de una manera real. En cuanto a la narrativa basada en el trabajo de investigación de Cummings, pues lo respeto—¿Por qué menospreciar el trabajo valiente de una mujer que aunque no sea de la cultura mexicana, lo mostró todo con todo?!

As real as it gets
