The Book of Rosy: A Mother's Story of Separation at the Border by Julie Schwietert Collazo, Rosayra Pablo Cruz

5.0

This book was so gut wrenching and yet inspirational. I’m grateful that Rosayra was given the space to voice her story in this book and that she was raw, not hiding the parts that didn’t make her look great. It was real. Bringing in the voice of the IFT and Julie’s role in the second half was an interesting choice that really added to the book for me.

The book was honest and heart wrenching, showing some of the worst and some of the best of people. It was one story of desperation but also hope and how a working mom can still find time to help another mom in need. I also really liked the resources and action items given at the end.
