Praise

The author tells a very powerful story filled with themes of racial and ethnic injustice and discrimination, class differences, the importance of relationships, and the impact of trauma on teens and families. I found myself looking forward to reading more from the very start. [The Daughters' Baggage]

Wow! This Author knows how to weave an incredible story. She really has a knack for reaching into your soul and grabbing your interest. I am amazed by her writing, and by how much she understands some of the difficult things she writes about. [The Abandoned Girl]

The characters are so real that I really felt their emotions, frustrations and joy for things we who are born here take for granted...The story gave life, emotions, empathy and understanding for the challenges immigrants face to become US citizens. Once you start this book, you’re captured and can’t put it down. [No Direction Home]
