Reviews
"This powerful and down-to-earth memoir is a vital glimpse into a set of experiences common to many Americans, and it's a celebration of the strength found in owning every part of a multifaceted identity." -- Shelf Awareness, "FIRST GEN is a luminous achievement, one of the most moving debuts in memory... Campoverdi transforms the furies, hypocrisies and disappointments of the American dream into a survivor's song of surpassing poignancy... this is literary love medicine, a book you will not soon forget."-- Junot Diaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of New York Times bestsellers The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and This is How You Lose Her, "Campoverdi's dedication and affection for young women in difficult circumstances is evident...she provides a rich harvest of encouragement and a solid list of resources." -- Booklist, "FIRST GEN lays out the challenges and contradictions of being a 'first and only'--may others walking a similar path find hope and inspiration in her story." -- Cecilia Munoz, former Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council and author of More Than Ready, " FIRST GEN is a gift to all of us--the children of immigrants who have longed to read a story like ours in books. With vulnerability and transparency, Campoverdi gives us special access to so many setbacks, triumphs, and hard-won lessons as a First and Only. Every Latina hoping to end cycles of generational trauma must read this immediately." -- Erika L. Sanchez, New York Times bestselling author of I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, "Intimate and unflinching, First Gen reveals the very real human and emotional costs to living the "American Dream." Alejandra Campoverdi shines a guiding light for fellow "First and Onlys" who struggle to overcome systemic barriers while detangling generational trauma. No discussion of America's supposed meritocracy is complete without consideration of this powerful book." -- Qian Julie Wang, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Country: A Memoir of An Undocumented Childhood, "I wish this book existed when I was a first generation student navigating the alienating world of academia and the mostly white workplaces thereafter. Campoverdi's writing is honest, healing, and empowering. First Gen has made me feel seen and less alone." -- Javier Zamora, New York Times bestselling author of Solito

Synopsis
*2X NATIONAL BESTSELLER* Winner of the Martin Cruz Smith Award (CALIBA) Winner of the Dolores Huerta Award (International Latino Book Awards) 2024 Council for Opportunity in Education National Book Club Selection Longlisted for the Outstanding Works of Literature (OWL) Award for First Year Experience An unflinching memoir and "invaluable resource" (Kirkus) about navigating social mobility as a first gen Latina--offering both a riveting personal story and an examination of the unacknowledged emotional tolls of being a trailblazer. Alejandra Campoverdi has been a child on welfare, a White House aide to President Obama, a Harvard graduate, a gang member's girlfriend, and a candidate for U.S. Congress. She's ridden on Air Force One and in G-rides. She's been featured in Maxim magazine and had a double mastectomy. Living a life of contradictory extremes often comes with the territory when you're a "First and Only." It also comes at a price. With candor and heart, Alejandra retraces her trajectory as a Mexican American woman raised by an immigrant single mother in Los Angeles. Foregoing the tidy bullet points of her resume and instead shining a light on the spaces between them, what emerges is a powerful testimony that shatters the one-dimensional glossy narrative we are often sold of what it takes to achieve the American Dream. In this timely and revealing reflection, Alejandra draws from her own experiences to name and frame the challenges First and Onlys often face, illuminating a road to truth, healing, and change in the process. Part memoir, part manifesto, FIRST GEN is a story of generational inheritance, aspiration, and the true meaning of belonging--a gripping journey to "reclaim the parts of ourselves we sacrificed in order to survive."
