the plight of the many families separated at the U.S.-Mexico
border." - Publisher's Weekly, STARRED REVIEW "[The] haunting and

Books of Summer 2020 Compelling and urgently important, The Book of
Rosy is the unforgettable story of one brave mother and her fight
to save her family. When Rosayra "Rosy" Pablo Cruz made the
agonizing decision to seek asylum in the United States with two of
her children, she knew the journey would be arduous, dangerous, and
quite possibly deadly. But she had no choice: violence-from gangs,
from crime, from spiraling chaos-was making daily life hell. Rosy
knew her family's one chance at survival was to flee Guatemala and
go north. After a brutal journey that left them dehydrated,
exhausted, and nearly starved, Rosy and her two little boys arrived
at the Arizona border. Almost immediately they were seized and
forcibly separated by government officials under the Department of
Homeland Security's new "zero tolerance" policy. To her horror Rosy
discovered that her flight to safety had only just begun. In The
Book of Rosy, with an unprecedented level of sharp detail and
soulful intimacy, Rosy tells her story, aided by Julie Schwietert
Collazo, founder of Immigrant Families Together, the grassroots
organization that reunites mothers and children. She reveals the
cruelty of the detention facilities, the excruciating pain of
feeling her children ripped from her arms, the abiding faith that
staved off despair-and the enduring friendship with Julie, which
helped her navigate the darkness and the bottomless Orwellian
bureaucracy. A gripping account of the human cost of inhumane
policies, The Book of Rosy is also a paean to the unbreakable will
of people united by true love, a sense of justice, and hope for a
better future.
