English teachers call these “mentor texts,” and I wouldn’t have finished my own book without them.

And Javier Zamora describes in such granular detail what it’s like to cross the southern border that I scheduled follow-up interviews with former students even more questions about the journeys from their birthplace to my classroom.

Kid Quixotes showed me how to write courageously about students and with humility when describing one’s own impact.

Francisco Cantú chronicles his experiences working as a border patrol agent and transitioning to civilian life in The Line Becomes a River. It provided a much-needed example of how to write about a system as well as one’s place within it.

In A Home on the Field, Paul Cuadros showed me how to build an emotional connection between readers and characters strong enough to root for the kids, no matter your politics.

I first read Enrique’s Journey while Wildin was detained. “Perhaps looking at one immigrant,” journalist Sonia Nazario writes, “his strength, his courage, his flaws - his humanity might help might help illustrate what too often has been a black-and-white discussion.”

Stopping the Deportation Machine will be released Sept. 18. In the meantime, check out some of the books I leaned on while writing.
