Courage is written for Americans by a Mexican and an American, about the Mexican-American borderlands: La Frontera. Follow the beautiful Siberian husky, Courage, as she leads us on a journey along the Mexican immigration and criminal path through California's Coachella Valley, the Mexicali border crossing, Mexicali, and by the Beast-the immigrant train north-to Culiacan and a small fortress outside El Dorado. Experience pervasive corruption, bloody enforcement of criminal discipline, and the character conflict of the players in the dangerous game that costs fifteen thousand Mexicans their lives every year. Experience the dynamic of divine intervention, the selflessness of true friendship, and a profound hope for the future.
