Book Haunted Vancouver  Washington

Download or read book Haunted Vancouver Washington written by Pat Jollota and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sprawling along the banks of the Columbia River, the city of Vancouver has grown from a remote fort to a metropolis. Home to the first operating airfield in the United States, it's seen triumphs and tragedies by air, land and sea. Shades walk across bridges and disappear, shadows haunt the courthouse and voices echo through empty barracks. Ghostly mules, once used for army transport, have been spotted near their old barn on Fifth Street, and the scene of a plane crash from more than fifty years ago sometimes looks as fresh as the day it happened. Join author and historian Pat Jollota as she uncovers the fascinating stories behind the unexplainable.

Book The Death and Life of Aida Hernandez

Download or read book The Death and Life of Aida Hernandez written by Aaron Bobrow-Strain and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when an undocumented teen mother takes on the U.S. immigration system? When Aida Hernandez was born in 1987 in Agua Prieta, Mexico, the nearby U.S. border was little more than a worn-down fence. Eight years later, Aida’s mother took her and her siblings to live in Douglas, Arizona. By then, the border had become one of the most heavily policed sites in America. Undocumented, Aida fought to make her way. She learned English, watched Friends, and, after having a baby at sixteen, dreamed of teaching dance and moving with her son to New York City. But life had other plans. Following a misstep that led to her deportation, Aida found herself in a Mexican city marked by violence, in a country that was not hers. To get back to the United States and reunite with her son, she embarked on a harrowing journey. The daughter of a rebel hero from the mountains of Chihuahua, Aida has a genius for survival—but returning to the United States was just the beginning of her quest. Taking us into detention centers, immigration courts, and the inner lives of Aida and other daring characters, The Death and Life of Aida Hernandez reveals the human consequences of militarizing what was once a more forgiving border. With emotional force and narrative suspense, Aaron Bobrow-Strain brings us into the heart of a violently unequal America. He also shows us that the heroes of our current immigration wars are less likely to be perfect paragons of virtue than complex, flawed human beings who deserve justice and empathy all the same.
