    "There are other books dealing with life at the border, but none as intelligent, searching, objective or encompassing as Tyche Hendricks' vivid evocation of this . Award-winning journalist Tyche Hendricks has explored the U.S.-Mexico borderlands by car and by foot, on horseback, and in the back of a pickup truck.

    Now they share the struggle to access medical care for immigrants who are injured or ill on this side of the border, plus a commitment to treat with compassion people who are not native to either town. Hendricks's story covers the relationship between two overburdened hospitals, Holy Cross in Arizona and the Hospital General in Sonora. Each is committed to helping all people, and they share the information and resources necessary to get it done.

    Hendricks quotes the director of Holy Cross as saying that "one of the things we're trying to do in health care is blow up the wall" The creativity and interconnection between the two hospitals is admirable, but the border is also a place where the problems of treating the uninsured and the undocumented on both sides of the border are writ large.

    In this story, as in all the stories in the book, Hendricks refuses to simplify or to elide the difficulties at the border.

    About the Book

    However, she also refuses to simplify the relationships and the strong web of connected lives that intersect at the borderlands. She writes in her conclusion that "to turn the border into a dividing line is to ignore and undercut the ways in which it is a meeting [End Page ] place" There are many problems at the border: However, Hendricks's stories bring these to life while reminding readers of the rich, shared history and culture at the borderlands that many people from both sides call home.
