This book is really special. It’s a coming of age book about children born in the us whose parents are detained by ICE. The horrific treatment, being forced to grow up too fast, and all white trying to understand yourself and who you are. It was an excellent look at how ICE destroys family and the injustice of the system using a specific family you can’t help but fall in love with.
