Beautiful Country
by Qian Julie Wang
4.5 stars. I listened to this in audiobook format, read by the author, and Qian’s story really came alive for me. I didn’t know (or honestly, think much about) what being an undocumented child might be like, and I’m glad she shared her story.
I also loved how we grew up reading the same books (Baby-sitters Club, Sweet Valley Twins, Julie of the Wolves), and I’m kind of partial to the name she chose for herself! Hehe.
Even though Qian had to hide who she was and didn’t have a great experience growing up in America, she still came across as a brave, spunky child, and I loved her! Highly recommend this book - a great memoir.
