Sinopse
From Florida to Washington, from California to Maine, migrant farmworkers handpick nearly every vegetable and piece of fruit. Few labor laws protect them and their pay is often stolen by those who employ them. No one story, no single truth, can adequately express the farmworkers’ world; this book presents its complexity in vivid and human language.
