Born in the U.S., Guerrero was able to remain in the country and continue her education, depending on the kindness of family friends who took her in and helped her build a life and a successful acting career for herself, without the support system of her family. In the Country We Love is a moving, heartbreaking story of one woman's extraordinary resilience in the face of the nightmarish struggles of undocumented residents in this country. There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US, many of whom have citizen children, whose lives here are just as precarious, and whose stories haven't been told. Written with bestselling author Michelle Burford, this memoir is a tale of personal triumph that also casts a much-needed light on the fears that haunt the daily existence of families likes the author's and on a system that fails them over and over. 600 10 $a Guerrero, Diane, $d 1986- 650 0 $a Actors $v Biography. 650 0 $a Children of illegal aliens $v Biography. 650 0 $a Immigration enforcement. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Performing Arts. $2 local 655 7 $a Biographies & Memoirs. $2 local 655 7 $a Nonfiction. $2 local 700 1 $a Burford, Michelle, $e author. 941 $a 5 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716025133.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806015557.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20200211010858.0 952 $l MGPD463 $d 20180718025202.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20170808012239.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=718F077A7BFF11E7A25D394097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
