The Undocumented Americans by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio

challenging emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This is one of those books where a star rating feels weird. However, if the star rating average encourages more people to read it, so be it!!

The Undocumented Americans is a heavy, yet important read. This was a difficult read for me as a Latine person but I'm grateful to have finally got around to this one.
