Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang
4.0

Told in the voice of her childhood, the author chronicles her life when her parents came to the United States as undocumentated immigrants from China. As I read this book, I had to keep rechecking that the year was 1984 and not 1954. She gives voice to the thousands of children living in our country in similar circumstances. My heart broke from her honesty in tellling her tale. Highly recommended.
