Review of "Half of My Family Is Illegal"


Wow. This piece is an incredibly delicate and personal reflection of growing up in the U.S. when more than half of your immediate family is undocumented. I almost did not want to review this piece because I did not want to draw unfriendly attention to the story. The moments shared between Youth producer Alicia Martinez and her family are heartwarming and engaging. The piece flows well from beginning to end and Martinez has an beautiful and inviting voice for radio. Definitely worth listening to.
