Based on the author's experience growing up in the border region of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and San Diego, California, this intriguing and enlightening novel focuses on the lives of the people in a Tijuana neighborhood during the late 1950s to mid-1960s, following their dreams and expectations. Narrated by a young girl, Nora, we hear the compelling stories of ordinary people, young and old, living and surviving life the best way they can, often under strenuous circumstances. The border, though an imaginary line, is very much part of their daily lives and is an integral part of their culture.
