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.

Made the material understandable
I was definitely struggling with EKGs until I read this book. I felt like it was able to dumb it down enough for me to understand. Definitely helped

Paramedic before 12 leads
This was easy to understand and I have read other books that you read 3 or 4 chapters and still know nothing about reading 12leads. I don't have time to spend a week or more trying to learn to read them. I can now feel confident in STEMIs diagnosis!
