4.0
*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*
In her memoir, Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez chronicles her life as a US citizen in a family of immigrants through her major life events. After a heartbreaking separation her freshman year of high school, Gutierrez finds herself alone in the United States with the remainder of her family in Mexico– only the promise of an education and her own grit powering her through homelessness and extreme poverty.
MY SIDE OF THE RIVER speaks on the bonds and responsibilities of family, as well as the reality of America’s aggressive immigration policy. Gutierrez chronicles her struggles with food insecurity, mental health, and the demands of corporate America on a brown girl.
