Nazario won the Pulitzer Prize for this document about the Mothers who defect in Central America to the United States and hope to eventually be reunited with ther children sometime soon.  

Sonia Nazario won the Pulitzer Prize for this book and the LA Times,  She also enrolled herself into psychiatric treatment after she followed Enrique from Honduras to the United States.

“¿ Dónde está mi mami?” Enrique cries, over and over. “Where is my mom?”
       His mother never returns, and that decides Enrique’s fate. As a teenager— indeed, still a child— he will set out for the United States on his own to search for her. Virtually unnoticed, he will become one of an estimated 48,000 children who enter the United States from Central America and Mexico each year, illegally and without either of their parents. Roughly two thirds of them will make it past the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. (page 5)
