In the Country We Love: My Family Divided by Diane Guerrero

4.0

---

Ms. Guerrero's account of her experience as a fourteen year old U.S. citizen who lost her family when her mother, father, and brother were deported to Colombia. She also addresses how this experience impacted her self-esteem and confidence, and the spiraling depression she suffers. A very empowering book for the message it contains about supporting our neighbors and families through their difficulties. It closes with a call to action in the face of egregious attitudes and politicians turning their back on a diverse and open America. A call to action to reach out and help our fellow people whose only mistake has been being born in a different country.
