Set amid the perils of illegal border crossings, The Iguana Tree is
the suspenseful saga of Lilia and Hector, who separately make their
way from Mexico into the United States, seeking work in the
Carolinas and a home for their infant daughter.
Michel Stone's harrowing novel meticulously examines the
obstacles each faces in pursuing a new life: manipulation, rape,
and murder in the perilous commerce of border crossings; betrayal
by family and friends; exploitation by corrupt officials and
rapacious landowners on the U.S. side; and, finally, the inexorable
workings of the U.S. justice system.
Hector and Lilia meet Americans willing to help them with legal
assistance and offers of responsible employment, but their illegal
entry seems certain to prove their undoing. The consequences of
their decisions are devastating. In the end, The Iguana Tree is a
universal story of loss, grief, and human dignity.
