Recommended for: 
Readers interested in immigration issues. Ages 12 to Adults.

  • Learn about the psychological impact of being undocumented in America.
  • Discover the personal stories behind immigration statistics.
  • Understand the complexities of identity and belonging.
  • Explore the emotional struggles faced by undocumented immigrants.
  • Recognize the societal perceptions of immigration and citizenship.
  • Separation not only divides families; separation buries emotion, buries it so far down you can’t touch it.
  • You have to decide who you are, and force the world to deal with you, not its idea of you.
  • The difference, however, is that when white people move, then and now, it’s seen as courageous and necessary, celebrated in history books. Yet when people of color move, legally or illegally, the migration itself is subjected to question of legality.

Sheryl SandbergJose Antonio Vargas’s eloquent and emotional book bears witness to a basic truth: we should not be defined by our legal status, but by who we are...His voice is an important voice that needs to be heard by all Americans, whether they are Americans by birth or by choice
Alan Bennett IlaganRainy day reading is this amazing book by joseiswriting.
Imbolo MbueJose Antonio Vargas’s powerful memoir is among many things a celebration of the millions of Americans who make immigrants like us feel at home in their country, regardless of our legal status, regardless of how much daily hostility we face. May this book cause their ranks to swell
