Heartbreaking and honest , glad you made it.

Diane, you made me cry at 2 am listening to your audiobook. I went all the way to 5 am, I couldn’t stop. I’m an immigrant. I had the privilege to be legal, but never for a second I felt apart of all my dear friends who didn’t have the same luck. I don’t know how and from where you pull so much strength to keep (not going) thriving. This is a must read if want to understand what immigration means for families, how breaking families apart is not the solution. I highly recommend. Diane is a intelligent, brilliant women and the narrative is captivating.

This book was amazing! I’m speechless right now. It was like everything that everyone always dreams of not happening to them happened to her! Or all of our dreams came true for her too! She literally went from rags to riches, but she doesn’t let it get to her head, she still helps out tons of people and it’s just amazing! I seriously loved this book and totally recommend it to anyone who just wants to read an amazing book right now

Wether you are against immigration or for immigration, this is a must read. Informative, touching, and eye opening.

What a great book! I read it in 2 days as I couldn't put it down! What a great story of resilience and perseverance. As an immigrant child myself this book brought many tears to my eyes. In reading this book I thought this could've been my family. My heart ached for all the pain & sorrow this family went through. Thank you for telling your story & sharing such personal & painful memories with the world.

I watched an interview where she talks about the book and decided to purchase it! What an amazing journey that took me on, I laughed and I cried. It was an emotional roller coaster I thank you and applaud you for sharing things that are so deep and personal for you. Your story is inspiring and beautiful and unique because it's yours and you are still fighting the good fight!Your parents are very blessed to have such a talented daughter!!!! Thank you again!

As a bilingual teacher for the last 24 years, I've heard this story all too often. Diane's story is one that touched my heart because of the plight that many immigrants face, one of fear and hope. Let's take Diane's story to heart and do something that will make immigration reform possible and better. Vote and put someone in office who truly cares about the plight of immigrants.

Great book! I couldn't stop reading. Very touching story. One I can relate too. Thanks for sharing your story. ❤️
