Requests:  0 Summary:  "Born to Mexican immigrants south of the Rillito River in Tucson, Arizona, Elizabeth had the world at her fingertips as she entered her freshman year of high school as the number one student. But suddenly, Elizabeth's own country took away the most important right a child has: a right to have a family. When her parents' visas expired and they were forced to return to Mexico, Elizabeth was left responsible for her younger brother, as well as her education. Determined to break the cycle of being "a statistic," she knew that even though her parents couldn't stay, there was no way she could let go of the opportunities the U.S. could provide. Armed with only her passport and sheer teenage determination, Elizabeth became what her school would eventually describe as an unaccompanied, homeless youth, one of thousands of underage victims affected by family separation due to broken immigration laws. For fans of Educated by Tara Westover and The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande, My Side of the River explores separation, generational trauma, and the toll of the American dream. It's also, at its core, a love story between a brother and a sister who, no matter the cost, is determined to make the pursuit of his own dreams easier than it was for her"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 305.86872 Gutierrez Gu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.86872 Gutierrez Gu Checked out 05/16/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.86872 Gutierrez Gu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Gutierrez Checked out 05/07/2024 Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Floating Collection B Gutierrez Gu Checked out 05/09/2024 Add Copy to MyList
