ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sally J. Doran
Hello! My name is Sally Doran and I am the author of Crossing the Southern Border: Was it Worth the Risk? I live and work in Central New York. This is my first novel and it is a fiction book.
What would you risk for a new beginning?
Based on a true story
Crossing the Southern Border is a poignant exploration of the migrant experience through the eyes of Sofía, a courageous teen from Guatemala fleeing domestic abuse and poverty. She honors her family’s wishes by accompanying her sister and baby niece on a treacherous journey to the US. The novel dives deep into the challenges and aspirations of undocumented migrants, the intriguing secrecy behind the smugglers’ operation, and the unforeseen cultural consequences. Authentic stories such as this highlight the social and economic inequalities of those who dare to risk so much to have not just a better future, but a better tomorrow.
The untold sacrifices of the undocumented
This timely narrative not only humanizes the often-misunderstood plight of migrants, but also invites readers to empathize with diverse cultural backgrounds and engage in critical discussions about immigration; it captures what it is like for brave migrants who dare to cross through countries that do not want them, often unwittingly finding themselves in worse conditions than those they left behind. It is an educational and empathetic resource that will bridge cultural divides and foster compassion in its readership.
