We Are Here to Stay: Voices of Undocumented Young Adults

The Stonewall Honorâ€“winning author of Beyond Magenta shares the intimate, eye-opening stories of nine undocumented young adults living in America.

â€œMaybe next time they hear someone railing about how terrible immigrants are, they'll think about me. Iâ€™m a real person.â€

Meet nine courageous young adults who have lived in the United States with a secret for much of their lives: they are not U.S. citizens. They came from Colombia, Mexico, Ghana, Independent Samoa, and Korea. They came seeking education, fleeing violence, and escaping poverty. All have heartbreaking and hopeful stories about leaving their homelands and starting a new life in America. And all are weary of living in the shadows. We Are Here to Stay is a very different book than it was intended to be when originally slated for a 2017 release, illustrated with Susan Kuklinâ€™s gorgeous full-color portraits. Since the last presidential election and the repeal of DACA, it is no longer safe for these young adults to be identified in photographs or by name. Their photographs have been replaced with empty frames, and their names are represented by first initials. We are honored to publish these enlightening, honest, and brave accounts that encourage open, thoughtful conversation about the complexities of immigration â€” and the uncertain future of immigrants in America.
