I was asked by a friend from my book group to read and review it. However, from the first chapter I was hooked. The uncertainty about what … Continue reading Hooked, Even Though it’s Not Her Kind of Book

Time to Take Off: A Journey to Freedom
By Amanda Thomas Time to Take Off was an eye-opener for me as a European. We are aware of certain events and persecution in the United States of undocumented migrants such as Mexicans, but Time to Take Off really brought this alive. Even in my resident country of Spain it is not always easy for the undocumented, but this … Continue reading Time to Take Off: A Journey to Freedom
An Underground Railroad for the Undocumented

“I Finished the Book in One Sitting.”

The story of Angel and his mother, Luna, is set during an undefined period of U.S. history - but feels like a deep dive into the cold, harsh waters of 2026 as experienced by countless thousands of undocumented migrant families.

Time to Take Off First Book Review

The New Colossus Updated
A writer friend of mine named John McGilvray recently wrote a poem about the US reflecting what is happening under its current president but he wrote it in the same style as the well-known poem,"The New Colossus," by Emma Lazurus, seen on the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor. I liked his poem so … Continue reading The New Colossus Updated
Complaint Number One
What do you complain about the most? Because I closely follow political events in the US, I would say my number one complaint is that President Trump isn’t being held accountable yet for his many crimes. For instance, many of the Epstein files still haven’t been released despite almost all members of Congress passing a … Continue reading Complaint Number One
