The Red Camp — Debra B. Diaz

In this deeply humane and moving tapestry of a novel set against the backdrop of a labor camp, the life of one family unfolds as it bursts out from under the red roof of its shanty, ripped by marital strife, generational conflict and frustrated familial love and responsibility. Rather than dwelling on poverty and deprivation, the women of the Cruz family spin mesmerizing tales of hope into a textured and enchanting narrative.
