A treasure hunt page turner that focuses on the journey of an orphaned Colombian who has survived the worst ordeals imaginable, escaped from the hands of FARC to stay alive and dream of becoming a veterinarian in Miami. Agree with Shellie1_us's comment. Hope Harris will follow up with Cari's sequel soon. Also appreciate very much the horrific subplots of Columbia's Girl Child Soldiers and the "impossible" epic route of some asylum seekers: Columbia-Nicaragua-Honduras-Guatemala-Mexico-Miami (She did not have to hop La Bestia, the northbound Mexican train where gangs sell spaces on top of the freight cars, where so many fall, and severed arms and legs dry between the tracks.) Best quote: "Miami -- savory and beautiful, an intensely American city built and maintained by people who came from somewhere else, often on foot."
