Finding Amor by Allison K Garcia




Loved this story! Allison Garcia has a way of bringing immigrant issues to light and explaining them to where they can be understood with descriptions that let readers see what is happening. As the head of the Cultural Awareness Committee at her agency, a member of the Statewide Cultural and Linguistic Competency Committee, and participating in several Dream Act rallies and other events in her region, Allison has first-hand knowledge of the issues facing immigrants in today's day and time. Her stories epitomizes her love for the Latino people.

Emanuel Martinez crosses to be with a mother who has been gone too long. He is captured and put in a detention center. The only person who can help him is his mother's estranged mother. Another lady volunteers with an after school program Emanuel is a part of. They will come to know family and love and home really mean

The descriptions of the experiences the immigrants face and the translations provided make Finding Amor an authentic read. Check out this great book!

I received a free copy in the hope that I would mention/review it on my blog. I was not required to give a positive review, only my honest opinion - which I've done. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own and I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
