Ram\u00f3n\u2019s mother is constantly preoccupied with his younger brother, who struggles with intellectual disabilities. And the outside world is rife with danger and temptations threatening to distract Ram\u00f3n from his dreams of making it to New York and succeeding as an artist.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n  <\/p>\n As dreams clash with reality and values conflict with desires, Ram\u00f3n finds the American dream within his reach\u2014but will it demand too big a sacrifice?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n  <\/p>\n Award-winning author Rudy Ruiz brilliantly captures the beauty and danger of border life as Ram\u00f3n struggles to understand his home and his place in the world. The Border Between Us<\/em> is a stunning, compassionate story about a son\u2019s fraught relationship with his father, the challenges of pursuing a creative life when one comes from humble beginnings, and the power of embracing one’s whole self.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n  <\/p>\n  <\/p>\n <\/p>\n CLICK TO PURCHASE:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n  Amazon <\/a>| Bookshop.org<\/a> | B&N<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n +Add to Goodreads<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n  <\/p>\n  <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rudy Ruiz<\/strong> is the author of The Resurrection of Fulgencio Ramirez<\/em> and Valley of Shadows<\/em>.
