Guerrero’s memoir “In the Country We Love: My Family Divided,” co-authored with bestselling author Michelle Burford, chronicles Guerrero’s harrowing experience as a teenager. She was 14 when her parents were taken from their Boston home by immigration agents and deported to their native Columbia while she was at school. From then on, Guerrero, who was born in the U.S., had to rely on the kindness of family friends.
