challenging emotional reflective tense fast-paced

5.0

Beautiful and devastating. The author of this memoir stunningly tells the story of her early life as an undocumented immigrant in New York through the lens of her childhood self. Only made more captivating by the audiobook which is narrated by the author. Easiest 5 star rating I have ever given.
