"The nation remains divided on the issue of detention and deportation of undocumented immigrants. Most Americans recognize there are no easy solutions to the problem. The majority of migrants today are not Mexicans but families from Central America. Most request asylum at the border, seeking to escape poverty and violence in their own countries. This explosion has raised many issues related to detention and deportation, including family separations at the border, overcrowding and unhealthy conditions at detention centers, and the rise of sanctuary cities. Throughout this crisis, there is a struggle to balance enforcement with protection of immigrant rights"--Provided by publisher.

"Born to a death sentence in a near-future America, rebellious sisters herald a revolution--if they can survive. Twins Ava and Mira Goodwin defy the Rule of One simply by existing. The single-child law, ruthlessly enforced by Texas's Governor Roth, has made the sisters famous fugitives and inspirations for the resurgent rebellion known as the Common. But the relentless governor and his implacable Texas State Guard threaten that fragile hope, as Roth consolidates his power in a bid for ultimate authority. As Ava and Mira relinquish the relative safety of their Canadian haven to stand against Roth, new allies arise: Owen, a gifted young programmer, impulsively abandons his comfortable life in a moment of compassion, while Zee, an abused labor camp escapee, finds new purpose in resistance. The four will converge on Dallas for a reckoning with Roth, with nothing less than their destinies--and the promise of a future free from oppression--on the line"--Dust jacket.
