Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez is an author whose 2024 memoir My Side of the River recounts her experience growing up undocumented in Tucson, Arizona. The book covers her childhood near the border, her time as a DACA recipient, and her path through college and into professional life.
Gutierrez writes from direct experience, and the memoir addresses immigration policy, family separation, and what it means to build a life without legal status in the only country you have ever known. The book received attention for its honest, personal treatment of issues that are often discussed only in political terms.
