Additional Details
Her book, Tell Me How It Ends, goes beyond in fitting this criteria by sharing with readers the stories of undocumented children in order to “humanize these young migrants and highlight the contradiction of the idea of America as a fiction for immigrants with the reality of racism and fear both here and back home.”\
