Rivera writes with a voice that is both raw and sweet. The story of her brother Miguel and his walk through the dark is something I will never forget. It reminds me that bravery is a choice we make every day.
I loved the parts about her fast-food business near the university. It shows that hard work and a kind heart can open doors that seem locked tight. This is a manual for anyone who feels like the world is against them.
Watching her grandchildren hold her hand at the end brought tears to my eyes. This book is a gift to anyone who needs to know that a happy ending is possible if you just keep moving forward one step at a time.
