Overview

Perfect for fans of We Are Not From Here, this searing novel introduces Teódulo, an unaccompanied minor providing a rare male perspective on immigration, as he flees from murdering coyotes, only to become ensnared by human traffickers. After smugglers execute his father, Teódulo escapes and embarks on a harrowing journey to the United States alone. At the border, violent cartel members capture him and force him into brutal labor at a meat processing plant. Everyone pays to cross-one way or another. Freedom is not free. He doesn't speak English. He doesn't even know where he is. His captors threaten and abuse him, wielding his ""illegal"" status as a weapon of silence. Nobody cares about him. Nobody is missing him or will mourn his death. The American dream is a nightmare. Property of Nobody offers a gripping, unflinching look into the dark underbelly of immigration, human trafficking, and the desperation of children caught in this web of global crime.
