Winner of the Gival Press Novel Award / "Dream of Another America" is set in Central America, where a family dreams about leaving for America, the land of dreams. A current "Grapes of Wrath" with a Latin twist; this is a timely novel, given the current climate against immigration in the USA.

"McMahon's contribution to the body of immigrant literature is entrenched in questions of nationality, poverty, and family. He achieves a storytelling feat by creating an incredibly realistic narrative that is as poignant as it is breathtaking."-- KIRKUS REVIEWS
