Hey Everyone,
I am going to review the book "My (Underground) American Dream: My True Story as an Undocumented Immigrant Who Became a Wall Street Executive," by Julissa Arce. This book is hot off the press being published today September 13, 2016 by Faithwords. For those of you who would like to purchase a copy of this book CLICK HERE. This book is a memoir about Julissa Arce's life story. It discusses her childhood on how her parents brought her to the United States as an undocumented immigrant. Her parents did it in the best intentions to provide the American Dream for their children. It is what she had to overcome in living with this status. On how she climbed the ladder to be an executive working on Wall Street for Goldman Sachs.
Overall I rated this book four stars out of five. This was an amazing story. It is hard enough to grow up in America and graduate college with top grades, and never the less secure a job in Wall Street and then add on to that difficulty of doing all this while being an undocumented immigrant. The author told her story in an emotional way. She brought forward all the stereotypes that some of have of immigrants and proved them all wrong. I think this is a very important book that should be read by everyone because we can all learn something from Julissa Arce.
I would like to thank Netgalley, Julissa Arce, and Faithwords for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
Until the next page,
Jill
