Beschreibung

Dora: A Daughter of Unforgiving Terrain is a gripping memoir by Dora Rodriguez, one of only thirteen survivors of a harrowing 1980 crossing through the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona during El Salvador's civil war. At just nineteen, Dora risked everything to flee political violence, only to be met with new dangers along the migrant trail. Her story unfolds in vivid, heart-wrenching detail, from a childhood of hardship and resilience in Santa Ana, El Salvador, to the moment she collapses in the desert, left for dead, and through to her eventual rise as a humanitarian leader in the U.S. borderlands. Her story became one of the catalysts for the Sanctuary City movement in Tucson.

Now the Founder and Director of Salvavision, Dora shares her journey with unflinching honesty, illuminating the realities of forced migration and the resilience it demands. This is a story of survival, service, and the enduring hope that drives people to risk everything for a better life.

For readers of Solito and The Line Becomes a River, this book offers a firsthand account of forced migration and the strength it takes to rebuild. An essential title for readers drawn to immigration stories, human rights, and voices of lived experience.
