Summary:

American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins captures a gripping and emotional journey of Lydia, a Mexican bookstore owner, and her young son, Luca, as they become the sole survivors of a narcocartel massacre that kills their entire family at a relative's quinceañera. Fearing for their lives and with nowhere else to turn, Lydia and Luca embark on a perilous odyssey to the United States, stowing away on trains, dodging both corrupt officials and deadly cartels. As they traverse dangerous landscapes, the story delves deep into the resilience of the human spirit and the bonds that sustain us. Lydia's transformation from a simple bookseller to a fierce mother showcases the lengths one will go to protect family and seek a new life. This novel doesn’t just tell a tale of survival; it paints a poignant picture of migrant struggles and the quest for hope amidst despair.
