I really learned a lot from this story. The immigrant families struggling to survive, working in such terrible conditions just to put food on the table is horrific. 

I liked the story element of Lula losing her voice in the beginning, and then reclaiming. I loved how it aligned with her journey into standing up for herself. That was honestly a beautiful parallel.
