Thanks to NetGalley, One World, and Jean Guerrero for the opportunity to read and review this memoir.
This is the true story of the author and her quest to delve into the life of her father, who crossed the border between California and Mexico as well as crossing the line between sanity and insanity. Different people and different locations thought he was either schizophrenic or he was a shaman. The violence that both sides of this family experienced as well as what the author experienced in researching this book is so sad and the domestic abuse was passed down through the family lines.
I'm going with 3 stars because there were parts of this book that I couldn't put down and parts that were so slow and somewhat boring to me. The topic is certainly relevant in today's immigrant crisis.
