The Juarez family lives together in a happy home full of love. Or, at least, they used to.

When Estela was eight, her mum was deported to Mexico. She knew she had to do something. So Estela wrote letters: to local newspapers, Congress, the President, and anyone else who might help. She wrote and wrote and, finally, someone listened.

In this heart wrenching, autobiographical picture book, eight-year-old Estela Juarez's letters take her from local news appearances all the way to the Democratic National Convention, where she discovers the power in her words and promises to keep using her voice until her family is together again.
