Into the Beautiful North
Luis Alberto Urrea

into the beautiful north book cover

A small town in Sinaloa, Mexico is taken over by despicable drug cartel members who decide to feast on whatever they see fit. It's now up to the townspeople to come up with a solution. Into the Beautiful North is an epic novel by Luis Alberto Urrea which tells the story of 19 year old Nayeli and her three adventurous friends who desperately decide to go on a journey to the United States, in hopes of finding courageous men who can save them and their beloved town.  

Luis Alberto masterfully creates a raw portrait of the border rarely seen by most Americans, whose experience is often limited by the shrill polemics of immigration politics and news headlines. Poverty, border violence, undocumented immigration, drug trafficking, cartel violence and police corruption are just a few of the subjects the author tackles with both humor and sorrow. 


Into the Beautiful North is a novel that injects humanity into the complexity of Mexican-American relations through the flawless creation of authentic characters. It also provides readers an opportunity to be part of an extraordinary epic quest of remarkable adventure, hope and survival.
Luis Alberto Urrea (Baja California, Mexico)  is a 2005 Pulitzer Prize finalist for nonfiction and member of the Latino Literature Hall of Fame. Urrea is the critically acclaimed and best-selling author of 16 books, winning numerous awards for his poetry, fiction and essays. 

Into the Beautiful North is a publication by Little, Brown and Company and can be purchased through Barnes & Noble. Click here to purchase.
