520    Americans by Heart examines the plight of undocumented 
       Latino students as they navigate the educational and legal
       tightrope presented by their immigration status. Many of 
       these students are accepted to attend some of our best 
       colleges and universities but cannot afford the tuition to
       do so because they are not eligible for financial aid or 
       employment. For the few that defy the odds and manage to 
       graduate, their status continues to present insurmountable
       barriers to employment. This timely and compelling account
       brings to light the hard work and perseverance of these 
       students and their families; their commitment to education
       and civic participation; and their deep sense of 
       uncertainty and marginality. Offering a rich in-depth 
       analysis, the author presents a new framework for 
       educational policies that recognizes the merit and 
       potential of undocumented Latino students and links their 
       situation to larger social and policy issues of 
       immigration reform and higher education access.
