My Side of the River: A Memoir by Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez

5.0

What a beautiful, heart-wrenching memoir! I wish all the people running out to read Hillbilly Elegy would pick this up instead (or at least also) to learn about the immigration issues in the US and put a faces to the border crisis. I found this book to be so readable. An easy story to digest and picture and I found myself literally cheering and crying for Elizabeth and her family. There is sadness but there is importance. A must-read.
