This is one of the BEST audiobooks I have ever listened to. The narrators were perfection, the sounds/set-up made it feel like I had a movie playing in the background (or an old radioshow), and the story itself was timely. Opting to use career counseling to tell the story was an awesome choice. All that aside, I ADORED Cara Romero!

“My name is Cara Romero, and I came to this country because my husband wanted to kill me. Don’t look so shocked . You’re the one who asked me to say something about myself.”

There was an innocence & honesty to Cara that was so refreshing. The American dream. It is filled with highs and lows. Cara is not perfect, but she is trying.

I don't recall when or how this book ended up tagged in my Libby app, but I am grateful I finally reached it. I listened in a single day and I have no regrets!
