She runs a bookstore. She has a son, Luca, the love of her life, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. And while there are cracks beginning to show in Acapulco because of the drug cartels, her life is, by and large, fairly comfortable. Even though she knows they'll never sell, Lydia stocks some of her all-time favorite books in her store. And then one day a man enters the shop to browse and comes up to the register with four books he would like to buy-two of them her favorites. Javier is erudite. He is charming. And, unbeknownst to Lydia, he is the jefe of the newest drug cartel that has gruesomely taken over the city. When Lydia's husband's tell-all profile of Javier is published, none of their lives will ever be the same. Forced to flee, Lydia and eight-year-old Luca soon find themselves miles and worlds away from their comfortable middle-class existence. Instantly transformed into migrants, Lydia and Luca ride la bestia-trains that make their way north toward the United States, which is the only place Javier's reach doesn't extend. As they join the countless people trying to reach el norte, Lydia soon sees that everyone is running from something. But what exactly are they running to?"--!c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Lydia Quixano PeÌrez vive en Acapulco, MeÌxico, donde lleva su libreriÌa. Tiene un hijo, Luca, el amor de su vida, y un maravilloso esposo que es periodista. Y aunque la vida en Acapulco comienza a agrietarse debido a los caÌrteles de la droga, su vida es confortable. Un diÌa llega un hombre a la libreriÌa y compra cuatro libros, entre los que se encuentran dos de las obras favoritas de Lydia, que piensa que nunca va a vender. Javier es erudito, encantador, aunque Lydia no lo sabe, es el jefe del nuevo caÌrtel que se ha apoderado de la ciudad. Cuando se publica el revelador artiÌculo sobre Javier que el esposo de Lydia escribe para el perioÌdico local, sus vidas cambiaraÌn para siempre. Forzados a huir, Lydia y Luca, de ocho anÌos, pronto se encuentran a kiloÌmetros de su coÌmoda existencia. Transformados instantaÌneamente en migrantes, Lydia y Luca viajan en La Bestia, los trenes que se dirigen al norte hacia Estados Unidos, el uÌnico lugar donde Javier no podraÌ encontrarlos. Cuando se unen a las innumerables personas que intentan llegar al norte, Lydia pronto se da cuenta que todos huyen de algo. ¿Pero hacia queÌ huyen exactamente?" -- $c From the back cover. 650 0 $a Drug traffic $z Mexico $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Organized crime $z Mexico $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z Mexican-American Border Region $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Spanish language materials. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Paz Abasolo, MariÌa Laura, $e translator. 941 $a 6 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909060615.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063755.0 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20210429010113.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20200716013510.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200502010117.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200215010044.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D0522F0C4FC011EA9D2B000697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
