faeriesparks 's review for:
In the Country We Love: My Family Divided
by Diane Guerrero
4.5 stars
I'd known about Diane Guerrero's story for a while already but only very briefly. Hearing about her parents deportation and her struggles of being abandoned by the government at the age of 14 was quite a punch in the heart (I was crying at several parts in this book). But it was also so, so inspiring. She didn't just give up and made her life the best she could and became such a wonderful and amazing person. She is an advocate for immigration reform and is really trying to make a change.
Especially the last (or so) chapter had me bawling because she urges people to go vote on November 8th... Knowing the outcome of the election, it was just so sad.
