Foreward by Luis Alberto Urrea A new nightmare plagues the
Mexico-Arizona border. A famine caused by Blackwell Industries drives
Diego Busqueda, a noble coyote, to lead a band of Mexican border
crossers across the unforgiving Devil's Highway, a desert cursed with
blistering days and deadly nights. Back home, Diego's daughter, Flaca,
discovers that something hungrier prowls the factory fields. Stalked and
persecuted, can the Busqueda family maintain their dreams of immigration
or will the unspeakable horrors of the desert tear them apart? On the
Feeding Ground, there is no freedom without sacrifice...
