Marcelo Hernandez Castillo was five years old when he and his family crossed the border between Mexico and the United States. Thus began a new life of hiding in plain sight and of paying extraordinarily careful attention at all times for fear of being truly seen. With beauty, grace, and honesty, Castillo recounts his and his family's encounters with a system that treats them as criminals for seeking safe, ordinary lives. Before Castillo was one of the most celebrated poets of a generation, he was a boy who perfected his English in the hopes that he might never seem extraordinary.
