Lots of Latina women on BookTok recommend this book, particularly for first-gen immigrant kids. SPOT ON.
Such an insightful read. Phenomenal writing, emotional, and sheds light on an under-represented community. As a non-Latino, first-generation child of refugee immigrants, I still found a lot of the stories and sentiments that Karla shares resonate with my own family’s. I came away learning how deeply and the extent that our undocumented neighbors have given to a country that does not want them (as Karla describes herself).
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any first-gen American, and to those who can have empathy for our under-represented and undocumented communities.
