There are an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Every one of their stories is different and the broad strokes coverage you often hear can’t possibly touch on everyone’s reality.

Their new book “The Cost of Being Undocumented: One Woman’s Reckoning with America’s Inhumane Math“ is on bookshelves now. Co-authors Alix Dick and Antero Garcia join The Excerpt to share their journey of discovery of what it means to be undocumented.
