Summary

El padrino de Jackson Heights hace mucho mas que arreglos de viajes desde su diminuta agencia escondida en un rincon del sector de Queens conocido como la Pequena Colombia de Nueva York. Con frecuencia Fernando Padron es la unica mano amiga para miles de inmigrantes latinos. Entre sus diversos oficios estan el de contador, buscador de empleos, generador de fondos y detective en busca de personas perdidas. Don Fernando es conocido por la prensa como "el sepulturero de mulas," por la ayuda que presta a los familiares de muchos de los que mueren cuando se les revientan en sus estomagos las capsulas de drogas que transportan a los Estados Unidos. Esta coleccion de cuentos, basados en la vida real del autor, nos adentra en las apasionantes, conmovedoras y a veces tragicas experiencias de los inmigrantes que luchan por alcanzar el sueno americano.
