Diane Guerrero, "In the Country We Love"

http://www.politics-prose.com/book/97... Guerrero is a well-known actress on hit shows including Orange is the New Black and Jane the Virgin. She has also appeared on CNN to discuss immigration issues, which she knows both personally and through her work with the nonprofit Immigrant Legal Resource Center. Her memoir tells the nightmarish story of how Guerrero was left alone at age fourteen when her parents and brother, undocumented immigrants, were arrested and deported. Guerrero, born in the U.S., depended on family friends as she finished school and took up acting; in her powerful testament she speaks for the eleven million undocumented people in this country, most living in fear, many with children who are U.S. citizens.
