I very much enjoyed this book. It was visceral and eye opening for the journey that many families take to achieve the not so "American dream". I've known of the horrors refugees face and of families torn apart, but to read it in such a form was altogether different. I'm glad I read it but it was rather gut wrenching. I wish our country was as good to all as the dream promises it can be.

I was in Target one day and saw that this one was on sale, so I picked it up and saw it was less than 200 pages, so it was dropped in the cart. I read this in between Boyfriend Material and Nightingale and absolutely loved it. Each chapter is a family member’s perspective and journey as they immigrate to America and Colombia. This is probably the first time I ever read about Colombia and found the written stories very important.
