Growing up with undocumented parents I was aware from a very young age the danger it was for them to live in the states. I grew up listening to stories of my family who attempted to cross and those of their friends back in the late 1990’s.

I'm sitting in my favorite coffee shop at my favorite table next to my name on a plaque and where I wrote most of my first book as the audio version of my second book is being recorded by multiple actors while I revise my third book. If this isn't the dream, I don't know what is.
With gratitude & joy I give you my book.
