Border City is a novel written by Hart Stillwell that follows the story of a young man named Johnny who lives in a small town on the border between Texas and Mexico. The town is divided by a river, and Johnny finds himself caught between two worlds - the American side where he was born, and the Mexican side where his mother's family lives.As he navigates the complexities of growing up in a town where cultural tensions run high, Johnny becomes drawn into the world of the Mexican-American community. He falls in love with a girl named Rosa, who is from the other side of the river, and he begins to see the world in a new light.However, as tensions between the two communities escalate, Johnny finds himself caught up in a dangerous game of power and politics. He must navigate a world of corruption and violence, and he must decide where his loyalties lie - with his family and the American side of the river, or with Rosa and the Mexican-American community.Border City is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of identity, culture, and belonging. Through the eyes of its protagonist, the novel offers a unique perspective on life in a border town and the challenges faced by those who straddle two worlds.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
