Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two sides to a border. In this story one side is American, one side is Mexican. Threats from illicit activities permeate both sides with issues of illegal immigration and drug and human trafficking. There are two faces of the Arizona desert. Sarah sees it as a heaven, he sees it as a hell. She is a budding attorney from New York; he is a photojournalist fleeing the Mexican drug cartel. Destiny brings the two together in the Mexico Arizona borderlands of the Sonoran Desert. Follow the lives of soulmates Sarah and Benito as they learn from their striking similarities and discover their diverse cultural differences. Learn the true meaning of family. Witness the humble Mexican woman who inspires change in a Vietnam veteran vigilante through the power of unconditional love. Listen to the retired professor from New York who finds a unique way to help the underprivileged on the south side of the border. All paths and stories of these people intersect and destiny rules the direction that their lives take. The people in this story live on the edge of a political, manmade border line. A line that crosses through cities and homelands. A line that divides those who are prejudiced from one another but also a line that divides those who love. We discover that a border wall is just one kind of wall. There are political walls of injustice, emotional walls of defensiveness and social walls of discrimination. Join us as we watch the walls of Fate come tumbling down when one prioritizes the power of love, compassion and acceptance. We may not be able to open our Borders, but we can open our hearts. Based on a true story."Every day since I've been writing this book I grieve for people I never met, people I never knew. They will sell everything short of their soul to make the border crossing. And a few will sell their soul..." Kate McGahan "You don't build walls, you build bridges between people." Andrew Cuomo"The little wall will fall away so quietly beneath the wings of peace." A Course in Miracles"Men will find that they can avoid far more easily the perils, which beset them...by uniting forces." Benedict Spinoza
