Love the simplicity of this story. Very relatable. I love the references to areas in Chicago. I love the vividness of the real life struggles of a Mexican American young woman growing up in the United States

Love story …

Revisado: 09-19-23

What a wonderful story. I like that it mentions what is going on every year because I like to relate it to what I was doing each of those years.Very touching. Very real. Very different kind of love story. I loved it for more reasons than just that it’s a good story.

What an incredible story! Twists and turns. Just when you think you know what’s about to happen, it twists and turns again…all the way to the end.

Every one but especially every woman should read this book. Also, even if it’s just parts and pieces, make your republican “philosophical rivals” or those who are unsure about which way they lean but truly care about our country, read or listen to this book. True eye-opener and solidifier of the truth of what our country was, is and can be. There is still hope. There will always be hope as long as some of us still think like Alyssa. Let us not give up hope. Let us not give up on our country.

I was not very fond of Amy but I watched Beth and Life and I decided to get this book. Reading (listening) about her life has made me a true fan. I really enjoyed this book.

Best book ever!

Revisado: 12-07-21

This book is a great continuation to Dear White America. I was hooked from the start. What an elegant yet in your face way to tell a story. A true story. The story of what we’re living today. I’ve never liked history but through Tim Wise and some other notable authors, I am learning to actually learn from REAL history and enjoy it. I was sad and angry and inspired all at once with this book. As a Mexican-American daughter of immigrant parents, I have to say that this book should be read by ALL. Our society is misinformed or not informed at all and sadly this creates and/or encourages racist people and behaviors. I have the hard copy of this book now as well and I plan to pass this book around to as many people that will read it. I will push my people to read it, to my sons and their fiancé and girlfriend so that they can feel safe and confident that their opinions and stance on so many controversial issues are valid and this will give them the knowledge to share with the rest of the world. My sons and daughters out there trying to make this world better. My heroes. I will also share this book with all my stubborn and I’ll- informed family members and friends in the hope that they will open their eyes to reality and hopefully start to change their ways before it’s too late. As Tim Wise says at the end of this book…”let it at least be said…we did not go quietly.”

I couldn’t stop listening. I’ve never been a fan of history and I can see why. As a Mexican American woman in my 40’s, I was born and raised reading and learning “white -washed” history. I, myself, have been guilty of perpetuating some of the erroneous “history” and beliefs that have been instilled in me all my life. I learned so much with this book. I will be buying the paper copy for my library and sharing it with everyone I know.

This book will make you laugh, cry, think and feel all the feelings. I am buying this book for my two sons (20 and 22) and gifting it to them. They grew up with a not so present dad after our divorce when my youngest was 9 months old. So they only have my female perspective on life and what it is to be a good young man. I love my boys so much and I can only pray that they remember the good things I taught them and learn from mom’s very human mistakes. May they always know that they are “man enough” but most importantly that they are deeply and unconditionally loved and that they are “ENOUGH”. 💕🙏🏽💕

I was crying and laughing out loud in the same chapter. I love that she is so real and yet so amazing and inspirational. I’m looking forward to her next book. 🙂
