Miguel Sanchez is a talented and dynamic attorney who has earned a reputation as a passionate crusader for immigration rights. His charisma and his accomplishments have made him a media darling and paved the way for his explosion onto the national political scene. But he is not who he purports to be. He is the nation's most high-profile illegal immigrant, a secret known to almost no one other than his shadowy handlers. Together, they have an agenda - punish America for its past sins and undermine this country's prosperity and way of life.

Since childhood, Sanchez has been conditioned to believe in that cause and to do whatever it takes to see that mission through. Now, he is on the cusp of acquiring the power to do exactly that. Only one person stands in his way - his unassuming, conflict-averse childhood friend, Bobby Rivera.

The Wall is an intelligent, fast-paced thriller that combines suspense with a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most controversial, sensitive, and far-reaching issues of our time - immigration. It examines the opportunities, fears, and challenges of recent immigrants and their children. It portrays the changing complexion of America in a way that is sensitive and hopeful. It contrasts life on opposite sides of the border wall, but more importantly, it vividly depicts the walls that exist in the minds and hearts of those trying to assimilate and those who resist.
