“Nine-year-old Betita knows she is a crane. Papi has told her the story, even before her family fled to Los Angeles to seek refuge from cartel wars in Mexico. The Aztecs came from a place called Aztlan, what is now the Southwest US, called the land of the cranes. They left Aztlan to establish their great city in the center of the universe—Tenochtitlan, modern-day Mexico City. It was prophesied that their people would one day return to live among the cranes in their promised land. “
