Villavicencio combines her own experiences as an immigrant and child of immigrants and those of the people she interviews. She does not consider herself a journalist because every part of her wants to be involved and help as much as possible. In her we see how traumatizing being an immigrant is, she is a Harvard grad with a PHD but still has a slew of mental illnesses, some of which were caused by her own parents' mental illnesses.
