"At the dawn of the new millennium, Colombia is a country devasted by half a century of violence. Elena and Mauro are teenagers when they meet, their blooming love an antidote to the mounting uncertainty of life in Bogata. Once their first daughter is born, they travel to Houston, all the while weighing whether to risk overstaying their tourist visas or return to Bogata. When Mauro is deported, Elena, now tasked with caring for their three small children, makes a difficult choice that will ease her burdens but splinter the family even further. Infinite Country is the story of a mixed-status family--for whom every dream pursued bears the weight of a dream deferred"-- Provided by publisher.
