"Offers hope in the face of desperate odds" - ELLE Magazine, ELLE's Most Anticipated Books of Summer 2020 "[D]isturbing and unforgettable memoir...This wrenching story brings to vivid life the plight of the many families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border." - Publisher's Weekly, STARRED REVIEW "[The] haunting and eloquent...narrative of a Guatemalan woman's desperate search for a better life." -Kirkus, STARRED Review PEOPLE Magazine Best Books of Summer 2020 TIME Magazine Best Books of Summer 2020 PARADE Best 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.

Uno de los libros mas destacados del verano 2020 segun las revistas Time y People USA TODAY: "El libro de Rosy es uno de los cinco libros mas relevantes". Parade: "Uno de los mejores libros para leer este verano". Shondaland: "Esta historia es un manual para el activismo del dia a dia". "[El libro de Rosy] ofrece esperanzas ante probabilidades desconcertantes". -- Uno de los libros mas anticipados del verano 2020 segun la revista Elle "Una autobiografia inolvidable [...] que narra la lucha a la que se enfrentan muchas familias que son separadas en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y Mexico". --Libro DESTACADO por Publishers Weekly "La inquietante y elocuente historia de una guatemalteca en busqueda de una vida mejor". --Libro DESTACADO por Kirkus Una historia conmovedora sobre dos madres marcadas por la crisis migratoria: una guatemalteca que ha sido separada de sus hijos y la estadounidense que la ayuda a reunirse con su familia. Cuando Rosayra Pablo Cruz tomo la desgarradora decision de buscar asilo en Estados Unidos con sus dos hijos, sabia que la travesia seria dificil, peligrosa y probablemente mortal. Pero la violencia rampante en Guatemala era insostenible; Rosy sabia que su familia solo sobreviviria si migraba al norte. Tras un peligroso viaje que los deja deshidratados, hambrientos y exhaustos, Rosy y sus hijos logran llegar a Arizona. Pero casi inmediatamente son separados a la fuerza por los oficiales gubernamentales del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional bajo la politica "tolerancia cero". Rosy y Julie Schwietert Collazo, la fundadora de Immigrant Families Together (Familias Inmigrantes Juntas), la organizacion comunitaria creada para reunir a madres con sus hijos, cuentan su historia y desvelan las crueles condiciones de los centros de detencion, la insoportable ansiedad que padecio Rosy al ser separada de sus hijos y como la Fe y el amor la ayudaron a sobrellevar sus momentos mas oscuros. Un retrato insolito y cautivante de las consecuencias que las politicas inhumanas infligen sobre los inmigrantes que cruzan la frontera estadounidense y de los lazos inquebrantables de la familia, la Fe y la comunidad. "Un libro que evidencia la compasion de los desconocidos y revela que, en estos tiempos tan desconcertantes, las historias aun tienen el poder de potenciar nuestra empatia y comprension. Esta historia te cambiara para siempre". --J. Courtney Sullivan, autora de Saints for All Occasions "El libro de Rosy es una cronica valiente sobre uno de los momentos mas vergonzosos de la historia de los Estados Unidos". --Christopher Soto, autor de Sad Girl Poems
