American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins

4.0

Sooo this book.... It does not feel right to say I liked this book as it is the definition of harrowing. It was compelling, riveting , well written, educational and definitely made me feel lots of emotions. But this tale of one woman’s forced migration from Acapulco to the USA is not for the faint of heart. You get a front row seat to the multitudes of traumas that make up the migrant experience. I’m glad I read it, but will definitely will be reaching for light read after this one. 4/5
