Other migrants tell of the corpses they pass--bodies that are never recovered or counted. Crossing With the Virgin collects stories heard from migrants about these treacherous treks--firsthand accounts told to volunteers for the Samaritans, a humanitarian group that seeks to prevent such unnecessary deaths by providing these travelers with medical aid, water, and food. Other books have dealt with border crossing; this is the first to share stories of immigrant suffering at its worst told by migrants encountered on desert trails.
