In a life-saving attempt to flee El Salvador’s civil war in 1980, Dora Rodriguez traveled north and almost died in the Arizona desert. She has spent much of her life since trying to help people facing the same challenges she did. A vocal advocate for migrant rights, she also heads Salvavision, a Tucson nonprofit that provides a variety of support services to migrants and deportees. The mother of five and a grandmother, Rodriguez reflects on her remarkable life in a new memoir titled "Dora: A Daughter of Unforgiving Terrain."
