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

5.0

A must-read for anyone looking to learn more about asylum seekers and family separation at the US/Mexico border. Loved that story was told both by Rosy, a Guatemalan single-mother looking to escape violence in her home country, and Julie, a former social worker and journalist who helped Rosy pay her bond and find a place to stay with her children in New York.

This captivating first hand account of a woman trying to find a better life for her and her family is sure to pull at your heartstrings. It was written and told almost as an extended This American Life segment (minus Ira Glass).
