520    "From the two-time NBCC Finalist, a fiercely imaginative 
       novel about a family's summer road trip across America--a 
       journey that, with breathtaking imagery, spare lyricism, 
       and profound humanity, probes the nature of justice and 
       equality in America today.  A mother and father set out 
       with their kids from New York to Arizona. In their used 
       Volvo--and with their ten-year-old son trying out his new 
       Polaroid camera--the family is heading for the Apacheria: 
       the region the Apaches once called home, and where the 
       ghosts of Geronimo and Cochise might still linger. The 
       father, a sound documentarist, hopes to gather an 
       "inventory of echoes" from this historic, mythic place. 
       The mother, a radio journalist, becomes consumed by the 
       news she hears on the car radio, about the thousands of 
       children trying to reach America but getting stranded at 
       the southern border, held in detention centers, or being 
       sent back to their homelands, to an unknown fate.  But as 
       the family drives farther west--through Virginia to 
       Tennessee, across Oklahoma and Texas--we sense they are on
       the brink of a crisis of their own. A fissure is growing 
       between the parents, one the children can feel beneath 
       their feet. They are led, inexorably, to a grand, 
       unforgettable adventure--both in the harsh desert 
       landscape and within the chambers of their own 
       imaginations.  Told through the voices of the mother and 
       her son, as well as through a stunning tapestry of 
       collected texts and images--including prior stories of 
       migration and displacement--Lost Children Archive is a 
       story of how we document our experiences, and how we 
       remember the things that matter to us the most. Blending 
       the personal and the political with astonishing empathy, 
       it is a powerful, wholly original work of fiction: 
       exquisite, provocative, and deeply moving"--|cProvided by
