I know what it feels like to be the ‘forgotten’ child, the one who doesn’t seem to belong. Tara’s story hit so close to home. While I’m still working through my own feelings, it gave me hope to see how she found her voice and built a life of her own. It’s a reminder that even when we feel unseen, our story matters, and we can create something beautiful.

As someone who moved from Mexico to the U.S. for a better life, I found so much comfort and connection in Tara’s story. Reading about her struggles and successes reminded me of my own journey. It’s not often you see these experiences shared so openly, and it was a relief to know that others have faced the same uphill climb and found success.

At first, I wasn’t sure about the third-person narrative. It’s not what I’m used to in personal stories, but it worked so well here. It made Tara’s journey feel larger than life, like a story that could belong to any of us. Her writing is honest and vivid, and the style drew me in right away. It’s definitely a different approach, but one I really appreciated.

Tara’s story gave me so much hope. As a young woman figuring out my path, I was inspired by how she overcame so many challenges to create a life of independence. Her journey showed me that it’s okay to start over and that resilience really can lead to incredible opportunities. I couldn’t put this book down. I was cheering Tara on through every page!

Too often, women tear each other down instead of lifting each other up. That’s why I bought this book. Tara’s story is a refreshing reminder of the strength women can find in supporting one another. Her determination and success are incredible, and her message of empowerment is one that more women need to hear. I’ll be sharing this with every woman I know.
