Praise for IN THE COUNTRY WE LOVE:

“Offering readers the story she needed to hear as a child, Guerrero shines a light on this country’s flawed immigration system, eloquently calling for reform without diminishing her appreciation for the opportunities U S citizenship has afforded her. A timely and enlightening read.”   Booklist

“This account will help readers understand the need for significant revisions to the immigration system that will increase stability for families and children seeking opportunities and safety.”   Library Journal

Guerro transforms a truly terrible situation into something meaningful, using her story and her role as an Ambassador for Citizenship and Naturalization by the White House to try to help other immigrant families left in this terrible position.”
