The deeply reported story of identical twin brothers who escape El Salvador's violence to build new lives in California--fighting to survive, to stay, and to belong.

Growing up in rural El Salvador in the wake of the civil war, the United States was a distant fantasy to identical twins Ernesto and Raul Flores--until, at age seventeen, a deadly threat from the region's brutal gangs forces them to flee the only home they've ever known. In this urgent chronicle of contemporary immigration, journalist Lauren Markham follows the Flores twins as they make their way across the Rio Grande and the Texas desert, into the hands of immigration authorities, and from there to their estranged older brother in Oakland, CA. Soon these unaccompanied minors are navigating school in a new language, working to pay down their mounting coyote debt, and facing their day in immigration court, while also encountering the triumphs and pitfalls of teenage life with only each other for support. With intimate access and breathtaking range, Markham offers an unforgettable testament to the migrant experience.

Extension cord
Size: 50 FT, Style: 16/3 Extension Cord, Color: Black
Cheaply made but has strong plugends. I wish the insulation was like more like the heavy duty outside extension. Cords. This cord is still good especially for the price. The male and female ends are high grade plugs it looks like. Just wish they woulda placed a thicker outer insulation over the extension cord but it’s water proof and can be used outside it’s worth buy for long cord for the price

Good Product
Size: 50 FT, Style: 16/3 Extension Cord, Color: Black
I bought this for some Christmas decorations and it worked out well. I probably could have found a cheaper one in a store but it was convenient to buy it online and it arrived quickly. Great for outdoor use and I'm sure it will last a long time.

Very good
Size: 50 FT, Style: 16/3 Extension Cord, Color: Black
Good value for the price. This 50 ft extension cord feels durable and works well both indoors and outdoors. The 16/3 gauge handles my power tools and outdoor equipment without overheating, and the flexibility makes it easy to roll up and store. I also like that it’s ETL listed for added safety. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the cord is a bit stiffer in colder weather than I expected. Other than that, it’s reliable, long enough for most jobs, and a solid buy for everyday use.
