Stories from the Borderlands: A Conversation with Jim Christ

Kirkus Reviews called it “A terrifying story that unflinchingly explores the grim underworld of human trafficking.” When 15-year-old Rosa Martinez is sold into prostitution by her own brother, high school principal Enrique Tavish feels compelled to rescue her from her captors in Sonora.

At the same time, Rosa’s compelling saga almost supersedes her rescuer’s as she rises above the role of victim in a series of shocking reversals.
