From the prolific author of The Moon Within comes the heart-wrenchingly beautiful story in verse of a young Latinx girl who learns to hold on to hope and love even in the darkest of places: a family detention center for migrants and refugees.Nine-year-old Betita knows she is a crane. Papi has told her the story, even before her family fled to Los Angeles to seek refuge from cartel wars in Mexico. The Aztecs came from a place called Aztlan, what is now the Southwest US, called the land of the cranes. They left Aztlan to establish their great city in the center of the universe-Tenochtitlan, modern-day Mexico City. It was prophesized that their people would one day return to live among the cranes in their promised land. Papi tells Betita that they are cranes that have come home.
Then one day, Betita's beloved father is arrested by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) and deported to Mexico. Betita and her pregnant mother are left behind on their own, but soon they too are detained and must learn to survive in a family detention camp outside of Los Angeles. Even in cruel and inhumane conditions, Betita finds heart in her own poetry and in the community she and her mother find in the camp. The voices of her fellow asylum seekers fly above the hatred keeping them caged, but each day threatens to tear them down lower than they ever thought they could be. Will Betita and her family ever be whole again?

Less than a week of use and peeling
Color: Black (Passcase), Color: Black (Passcase)
I got this as a gift for my husband and he used it for less than a week and the edges are already peeling. It seems more plastic than real leather. Very disappointing for the price. Would not expect this from Carhartt as their quality is typically very good.

New wallet
Everything is very nice, but. Only carries about 60 % of what I carry with my old wallet.
I also know that wallets need breaking in, but the slots were so tight it took dexterity and strength to slide in and remove a card.
Why don't I send in for a refund? There is no criteria to get a refund that applies. It is beautiful leather, great stitching and overall a great product. Maybe registration it.
