Devil's Highway

I just finished reading The Devil's Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea. It will haunt me. It tells the story of a group of Mexicans - illegal entrants- who pass the US border and then get disoriented and lost in the desert, and are then abandoned by their guides to be baked in the heat to death. A true story. I would have re-read it, stealing from my scant sleep time, if only I had the courage to do so.
