Their destination: Apacheria, the place the Apaches once called home.\n\nWhy Apaches? asks the ten-year-old son. Because they were the last of something, answers his father.\n\nIn their car, they play games and sing along to music. But on the radio, there is news about an \"immigration crisis\": thousands of kids trying to cross the southwestern border into the United States, but getting detained--or lost in the desert along the way.\n\nAs the family drives--through Virginia to Tennessee, across Oklahoma and Texas--we sense they are on the brink of a crisis of their own. A fissure is growing between the parents, one the children can almost feel beneath their feet. They are led, inexorably, to a grand, harrowing adventure--both in the desert landscape and within the chambers of their own imaginations.\n\nTold through several compelling voices, blending texts, sounds, and images, Lost Children Archive is an astonishing feat of literary virtuosity. It is a richly engaging story of how we document our experiences, and how we remember the things that matter to us the most. With urgency and empathy, it takes us deep into the lives of one remarkable family as it probes the nature of justice and equality today.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0525520619\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0525520619.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Luiselli, Valeria\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
