In the Country We Love: My Family Divided is a powerful and moving memoir that explores the complex realities of immigration, identity, and the American Dream. Written by acclaimed author and journalist Monica Potts, the book tells the story of her family's journey from Mexico to the United States, and the challenges and triumphs they faced along the way.

Potts's family immigrated to the United States when she was a young child. Her parents, like many other Mexican immigrants, came to the United States in search of a better life. They worked hard to provide for their family, but they also faced discrimination and prejudice. Potts herself experienced racism and xenophobia as a child, and she struggled to fit in at school.

As Potts grew older, she began to question her own identity. She felt like she was neither fully Mexican nor fully American. She felt like she was caught in between two worlds. She eventually decided to write her memoir in order to explore her own experiences and to better understand the complex realities of immigration.

In the Country We Love is a beautifully written and deeply personal memoir. Potts writes with honesty and candor about her family's struggles and triumphs. She also provides a nuanced and insightful analysis of the immigration debate. Potts's book is a must-read for anyone interested in the human experience of immigration.
