this story was devastating and moving. i was so deeply touched by this story.
i initially picked this up out of curiosity. i wanted to understand the experience of being an illegal immigrant to more closely understand the experience my mother may have had when she came here and in todays political climate, it felt more important than it ever had. i am so glad i picked this up. i dont think i could ever truly judge this book on a rating scale as it is too personal to judge on 5 star system. the writing was gorgeous and the story will mean more to me than i could ever really express.
i will be recommending this book and i do see myself returning to it for many years to come.
