  • Your book is amazing!

  • Some of my students were in tears when, as their writing instructor, I shared your unique story. Many of them are children of immigrants and migrant workers. They are college age individuals who needed to hear your story; I wanted to bolster their aspirations. They needed to hear a story of hope and dreams achieved. Thank you.
