Memoir of a girl whose parents were undocumented immigrants from Columbia. They both were deported and she was left in the US on her own at the age of 14. She knew they did not have papers and lived in constant fear. Mom actually was sent back once, came back to the US, then was sent back (for good) a second time. Adapted from her book for adults. Very relevant topic for the time. Focuses on childhood and teen years, so adapted well for this age group. She never got reported to CPS. Lived with friends and their families. Deals with fear, anger at parents, loss. Does talk a little bit about life as an adult and repairing relationships, going to Columbia to see parents there.
