2/3/18 review of book Undocumented, by Dan-El Padilla Peralta

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book Undocumented: A Dominican Boy's Odyssey from a Homeless Shelter to the Ivy League, by Dan-El Padilla Peralta.

The thread gives a summary of the book. The thread discusses some themes of the book, like the immigrant experience in the US, growing up in New York City in general, friends and family as support networks, the importance of the community to children, the way support networks create the support networks of the future, and the Christian Church, at its best, as a support network. The thread also gives some background on how I learned of the book.

Some of my Twitter threads have been twisted out of chronological order on Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is affected as a result. My apologies.

Here is the link to the Penguin Random House web page for the book.
