One of my favorites. Very informative about displaced peoples in a foreign country due to the oil industry of America. Very well written.

Imbolo Mbue does it again! I had read their first book, Behold the Dreamers, and it blew me away. This book was equally as eye opening and heart breaking. I highly recommend it.
