Nacida en Estados Unidos, Diane logró permanecer en el país y continuar con su educación gracias a la bondad de amigos de su familia, quienes la hospedaron y la ayudaron a formarse y forjar una exitosa carrera como actriz sin que contara con el sistema de apoyo de su familia. Ésta es una historia dolorosa y conmovedora acerca de la fortaleza extraordinaria de una mujer que debió enfrentar los horrorosos problemas de los residentes indocumentados de este país. Hay más de once millones de inmigrantes indocumentados viviendo en Estados Unidos, muchos de los cuales tienen hijos con ciudadanía estadounidense, cuyas vidas son tan precarias como la de sus padres y cuyas historias no han sido contadas. Escrita en conjunto con Michelle Burford, esta memoria es una historia de éxito personal que a su vez arroja una muy necesaria luz sobre los miedos que acompañan la vida cotidiana de muchas familias como la de la autora y sobre un sistema que les ha fallado una y otra vez.--Back cover.
"Diane Guerrero, the television actress from the megahit Orange Is the New Black and Jane the Virgin, was just fourteen years old on the day her parents and brother were arrested and deported to Colombia while she was at school. Born in the U.S., Guerrero was able to remain in the country and continue her education, depending on the kindness of family friends who took her in and helped her build a life and a successful acting career for herself, without the support system of her family. [This] is a moving, heartbreaking story of one woman's extraordinary resilience in the face of the nightmarish struggles of undocumented residents in this country. There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US, many of whom have citizen children, whose lives here are just as precarious, and whose stories haven't been told. Written with Michelle Burford, this memoir is a tale of personal triumph that also casts a much-needed light on the fears that haunt the daily existence of families like the author's and on a system that fails them over and over"--
