A remarkable true story from social justice advocate and national bestselling author Julissa Arce about her journey to belong in America while growing up undocumented in Texas.

Born in the picturesque town of Taxco, Mexico, Julissa Arce was left behind for months at a time with her two sisters, a nanny, and her grandma while her parents worked tirelessly in America in hopes of building a home and providing a better life for their children. That is, until her parents brought Julissa to Texas to live with them. From then on, Julissa secretly lived as an undocumented immigrant, went on to become a scholarship winner and an honors college graduate, and climbed the ladder to become a vice president at Goldman Sachs.

This moving, at times heartbreaking, but always inspiring story will show young readers that anything is possible. Julissa's story provides a deep look into the little-understood world of a new generation of undocumented immigrants in the United States today--kids who live next door, sit next to you in class, or may even be one of your best friends.

Good for the price but not as roomy as a North Face.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
The jacket is lightweight and warm. It isn’t as roomy as a North Face puffer jacket but fits me fine (6’1, 190). I find that when I zipper it to the top, it irritates my throat area a little. The color is what showed in the picture.

Not very puffy puffy jacket
Size: XX-Large, Color: Denim Blue
At xxl the shoulders fit well and perhaps the first jacket where the sleeves came down to my wrists and not halfway to my elbows if I reached forward. Love the zipper. The zipper pull is at my right hand side. It is where i would use my right hand to engage and pull it closed. The zipper glides smoothly. The hood is voluminous. There is no string available to control the fit of the hood. As it us the hood is much too large. It makes the jacket look cheap and unfinished. The jacket would be immeasura bly better if the was a bit more fill in the body and a string pull in the face of the hood to bring the fit closer.

It's thin but it's good for cooler mornings and windy days
This jacket is not super thick or sherpa/fleece lined. But it's great for cooler temperatures, windy days, or staying warm while out on a boat. It's lightweight, cuts the wind and is great for layering. Folding it into the bag makes it ideal for travel and camping
