When the Honduran woman got to Alma Ruth’s studio apartment in McAllen, Texas, she took a shower.
She was nine months pregnant, and it was the first real shower she’d taken in more than a year and a half, since a day in 2019 when she and her husband and their toddler fled the violence that has wreaked havoc on Central America.
