Fifteen-year-old Lorenzo is conscripted by the Mexican government to fight in a war for which he has little affinity and with a leader for whom he holds little respect. The realities of war (with equal doses of horror, boredom, excitement, grief, and confusion) prevail during Lorenzo's trek toward and through Texas and his metaphorical journey into manhood. Garland introduces readers to a time and place far removed from their own.
