Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. THE SOUTHLAND tells the story of three unauthorized Mexican immigrants living in Los Angeles: Luz works multiple jobs to provide for herself and her teenage son Eliseo. Nadia, a former journalist with PTSD, fled Mexico and tries to stay hidden from the dangerous men that she exposed in Sinaloa. Ostelinda works as a laborer in a garment factory, having been deceived by coyotes and imprisoned in the same building since her arrival. Their lives intersect through terrifying circumstance that clarify and contrast the horrors of existence. When Eliseo goes missing, Luz is lost. She doesnt trust the authorities to help. One wrong move could get her deported. Luz has no option but to investigate her sons disappearance on her own. Engaging Nadia and her roommate, they navigate an increasingly hostile American environment in an effort to reunite Luzs small family. When Luz and Nadia uncover a link to the people that run the garment factory, the two women become determined to save more than just Luzs son. THE SOUTHLAND is a crime story, but more than that, its a story of America and the dangers that migrants face when being forced to live in the shadows.
