It is a hot, heavy summer in Texas, the ground still steaming from the floodwaters that swept through the land like a biblical plague. Mud covers the streets, the wood of houses rots in the sun, and from the rubble rise the hands of those who stayed to help. Many of them speak Spanish. Many are from Mexico. Some without papers. All with heart. They recover bodies from collapsed houses. They rescue children from flooded basements. They shovel debris, extinguish fires, carry elderly women out of their destroyed homes.
