My Side of the River: A Memoir By Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez
About this item
Highlighted as a New York Times Editor's Pick, People Magazine's Best Book for February, and a Goodreads Most Anticipated Book of 2024, Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez delivers a powerful memoir in "My Side of the River." Born to Mexican immigrants, she faced upheaval when her parents were forcibly returned to Mexico when she was just fifteen.
Set against the backdrop of Tucson, Arizona, the memoir unfolds Elizabeth's journey as a U.S.-born daughter navigating the harsh realities of family separation and broken immigration laws. Tasked with caring for her younger brother and continuing her education, Elizabeth becomes an unaccompanied homeless youth, determined to defy statistical expectations and embrace the opportunities America can offer.
Luis Alberto Urrea, New York Times bestselling author, praises the work for reframing border writing, combining fierceness and poetry. "My Side of the River" is a poignant exploration of separation, generational trauma, and the complexities of the American dream. Comparable to Tara Westover's "Educated" and Reyna Grande's "The Distance Between Us," Gutierrez's memoir is not just a narrative of struggle but a profound love story between siblings, showcasing resilience, determination, and the pursuit of dreams against formidable odds. 📚❤️
