Editorial Review

Defining home

There are books that are so perfectly right for the zeitgeist that it’s scary and amazing at the same time, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas’s memoir of his life as an undocumented person is such a book. The audiobook takes it to another level as his voice brings home the reality of his life since coming from the Philippines at the age of 11, what it means to be living in limbo in this day and age (deportation is a real threat to him since he publicly outed himself in an essay to cease hiding in plain sight), and why we all must grapple with the future of immigration policies—all while displaying a killer knack for imagery, such as when he compared his native Tagalog accent to "the sound of tropical rain pouring down on cement." It’s a reminder of the real life hearts and minds we stand to lose beyond the illegal alien headlines. —Abby W., Audible Editor

I had to read this for class and I was pleasantly surprised. A really authentic story where he not only addresses his points of view but the opinions of others and answers questions you also have in your mind

This is an amazing book about a real story of immigration. As an American born citizen, it helped me understand more about the processes that govern our immigration system. The story is honest, heartfelt, and personal in an offensive style. Highly recommend.

amazing

This is one gutsy guy to get out there and do all the things he did while looking over his shoulder. He is very brave. He seemed to be backed into a corner believing that he was here legally and then finding out that he was not legal after spending so many years here.
Enlightening book. A little sad.

Everyone Should Read This Book

I am terrible at reading books for leisure. I started this book a long time ago, in print. I kept trying to go back to it, but I'm just really bad at making the time.

I finally decided to give Audiobooks a try and I am so glad I did. This book is officially my favorite book. The audio version is read by Jose Antonio Vargas himself, and I felt the pain in all of his words. The whole book is amazing, but the last few chapters had me crying many times as he put into words the pain that I struggle with so much. The pain of what I've lost, the pain of not belonging, the pain of uncertainty, the pain of being stuck, the pain of feeling ungrateful, and the pain of not having a home. Ni de aquí, ni de allá. My life story.

I highly recommend this book for anyone, regardless of your experience with or knowledge of our immigration system. He adds a historical policy framework throughout for a better understanding. Read this book, or listen to the audiobook, but absorb this. Somehow.

For educators, I would find a way to add this to your curriculum. It's so good. 💙
