Dominicana by Angie Cruz
4.0

#3 in my 20 in 2020 of books I already own. Which is not doing really great for this time of year. Oh well.

This book took me a while to get through, however I fault that to my own distractions of our current situation and the fact that I work full time with two kids in tow. This is neither here nor there.

I really do love immigration stories. That someone is willing to endure so much so that their family can have a better life is harrowing yet hopeful and inspiring. It was a realistic version of these kinds of stories and it wasn't until I was almost done that I found out it was molded after her own mother's story. I would definitely recommend.
