He competes with his bigger, meaner rivals for the coins American tourists throw off the bridge between Texas and his town. Across that heavily guarded bridge await a different world and a better existence. On the night when Manny dares the crossinǵђؤthrough the muddy shallows of the Rio Grande, past the searchlights and the border patroĺђؤthe young man encounters an old stranger who could prove to be an ally or an enemy. Manny can't tell for certain. But if he is to achieve his dream, then he must be willing to risk everythinǵђؤeven his life. |
