The Book of RosyThe Book of Rosy

When Pablo Cruz made the decision to seek asylum in the United States with her children, she had no choice: violence from gangs, from crime, from spiraling chaos was making daily life hell. After a brutal journey Rosy and her two little boys arrived at the Arizona border. Almost immediately they were seized and forcibly separated by government officials under the Department of Homeland Security's new 'zero tolerance' policy. Here Pablo Cruz tells her story, aided by Julie Schwietert Collazo, founder of Immigrant Families Together, the grassroots organization that reunites mothers and children. Their book is a paean to the unbreakable will of people united by true love, a sense of justice, and hope for a better future. -- adapted from jacket.
