My Household Divided

Diane Guerrero, the star of Orange is the New Black and Jane the Virgin, presents her private story on this middle-grade memoir about her dad and mom’ deportation and the nightmarish struggles of undocumented immigrants and their American kids.

Earlier than touchdown a spot on the megahit Netflix present Orange is the New Black; earlier than wow-ing audiences as Lina on Jane the Virgin; and earlier than her unimaginable activism and work on immigration reform, Diane Guerrero was a younger lady residing in Boston. At some point, whereas Guerrero was in school, her undocumented immigrant dad and mom have been taken from their house, detained, and deported. Guerrero’s life, which had been filled with the help of a loving household, was turned the wrong way up.

Reflective of the experiences of tens of millions of undocumented immigrant households in the US, Guerrero’s story in My Household Divided, written with Erica Moroz, is without delay heartbreaking and hopeful.
