My Family Divided: One Girl's Journey of Home, Loss, and Hope by Diane Guerrero, Erica Moroz
4.0
Writing this review a while after having finished the book, I remember My Family Divided as an approachable, honest, and hard-hitting reflection of immigration in America. Diane Guerrero's is not the first story of its kind I've heard, but probably the most devastating. I was first introduced to her through watching Orange is the New Black--a role that makes many stories in this book even harder to read. What I appreciate most about this book is its truthfulness in discussing American policies while being aimed at and entertaining for middle-grade children. Stories like Diane's are not widely shared but are necessary for us all to hear. This book is unique and important in all that it has to share; I will remember it for a very long time.
