A review by jchant
My Side of the River by Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

This was a compelling and well-written memoir. I was appalled at the struggles and privation that Elizabeth and her immigrant family went through, and heartened by her success. If I wasn’t already convinced that immigration policy in the United States was broken, this book would have convinced me. The book goes beyond the political, however, and tells a true and engaging personal story. Definitely recommended.
