emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense slow-paced

I have re-read this book a handful of times, and I love it more every time. I appreciate Grande's honesty about the struggles that have impacted her life, the reality of both living in Mexico and being an immigrant in America, and the difficult relationship she had with her family. This book is incredibly informative about parts of Mexico's history, as well as legislation in America that impacted the lives of Mexican immigrants. If you are interested in learning some Mexican history told from the point of view of someone who experienced it, I think this is the book for you. I also think this is a book that a lot of Latinos could identify with and be moved by. I, for one, certainly felt moved by it.
