The Book of Rosy: A Mother's Story of Separation at the Border by Julie Schwietert Collazo, Rosayra Pablo Cruz
5.0
Rating: Read NOW!
My Thoughts:
The book is divided into two sections, Rosy’s story and Julie’s efforts in creating a non-profit (Immigrant families together) which is how she met Rosy and helped her reunite with her sons. I wanted more of Rosy’s side of the story but it was fascinating to learn about all that Julie does with her non-profit.
I think it is so important for us to read these #ownvoices experiences with immigration. In this book you get to see the difficult decision Rosy had to make in hopes for a better life for her family and the struggles immigrants face in the journey. I felt lots of emotions while reading this book!
This was my book club’s pick last month and we had a great discussion. We were lucky to have the opportunity to virtually chat with the authors. We discussed their writing process, what they are up to now, and the work of Immigrant families together. I’m grateful for Rosayra and Julie for sharing their story with the world.
