YA
Evan and Alma are in love, but they couldn't be more different: he's from a wealthy Georgia family, while she and her family are undocumented Mexican immigrants. Their relationship is threatened when their town begins deporting its illegal residents. Though the story's obvious political viewpoint is presented at the expense of character development, it succeeds in humanizing a controversial issue.
