When I was younger, I wanted to be a journalist. I thought it would be cool to investigate stories and reveal them to the public through creative, literary works. That is only part of the reason why I loved this book. In my eyes, Maria Hinojosa is an icon and trailblazer. No matter what I say, I cannot do this beautifully crafted memoir justice.
She tells the story of her family's immigration from Mexico to the United States, which is powerful on its own. As Hinojosa grows older, she begins to feel the differences between her life in the United States and Mexico. She shines a light on the history, policies, and rhetoric around immigration.
Don't be fooled; this is more than a memoir, it's a call-to-action for Americans to wake up and take action regarding immigration policy.
