Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
Teaser Tuesday
Okay, it’s a bit more than two sentences, but I was having a hard time finding two sentences that stood alone. And besides, this short conversation doubles as a synopsis!
“Wait, you’re going across illegally to collect vatos to take home?”
“Correct.”
“You’re collecting men?”
“Seven men.”
“And you’ll smuggle them out of the Yunaites?”
“Yes.”
“Back to Mexico.”
“Exactly.”
“But you have to sneak.”
“Si.”
“Because it’s illegal to transport illegals.”
“Correct.”
“Even if they’re going south.”
“Right.”
“Holy Christ, I love this story!”
from Into the Beautiful North, by Luis Alberto Urrea

I have read wonderful reviews for this book. This conversation is the perfect synopsis!
"Holy Christ, I love your teaser!"
So jealous you're reading the new Urrea! Have you read The Hummingbird's Daughter? It's awesome!
