By the Giller Prize-winning author of The Time in Between, an ageless story in which the themes of immigration and refugees, exploitation and vulnerability, rich and poor collide to make a powerful and affecting novel. The profound intelligence and political resonance readers have come to expect from David Bergen are on rich display in his new novel. Íso is a young Guatemalan woman who meets a charming doctor, Eric. When an accident forces him to unexpectedly leave Guatemala, Íso is left heartbroken and pregnant. But her dreams of raising her newborn come to a halt when her daughter is abducted and taken to America.

Determined to reclaim her stolen child, Íso makes her way north, descending into a world full of danger. In a place of shifting boundaries, she must decide who she can trust, aware that a wrong decision could mean losing her daughter forever.
