The Book of Rosy: A Mother's Story of Separation at the Border by Rosayra Pablo Cruz, Julie Schwietert Collazo
5.0
100 STARS! <3
This book is so important and a must read!
It just came out June 2nd, so please go grab yourself a copy and read about Rosayra’s story about immigrating from Guatemala to the United States with her children and being separated from them at the boarder.
Thank you Netgalley and HarperOne for a free galley copy.
I am so glad I requested this book and got accepted to read it.
Since the first chapter, I was immediately hooked and wanted to read more about Rosayra’s journey.
I am so in love with this book, with Rosayra’s story and experience of leaving her country, hoping for a better future for herself and her children in the United States, being separated for her children, praying to God every night to be reunited with them, her journey back to them, and her will to help the other mothers in the detention centers.
So in love with Julie’s work in helping immigrant families.
The book is divided into three parts.
With each part we understand more about Rosayra's and her children's journey to the United States. Julie's experience with helping mothers who were separated from their children at the border by creating the Immigrant Families Together, raising money for families with the help of so many, and coming into Rosayra’s life. The reader listens to Rosayra's voice, listens to an immigrant's story.
I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars on here (in my mind it is).
I loved how it provided us with recommended reading and ways to help. I will make sure to donate, read all the books recommended at the end of the book. (I will list them on my goodreads and add them to my tbr right away. I will also list the books and website to donate on my Instagram post as soon as I can.)
I will never forget about Rosayra’s story and will reread this book many times in the future.
I am mad, sad, and so scared for these families.
We need to keep changing this system and helping others have a better life.
We can all do this together, one action at a time.
Thank you so much Rosayra for writing this book and for Julie for doing so much for immigrant mothers and families.
***If you've read American Dirt go read this book! Read a true story about an immigrant's woman and her children. If you haven't read it, please read this book instead.***
Off to buy the physical copy now, ok bye:)
(you need to do so too!)
