The Deportation Notice
Promoted on Monday. Deported on Friday. He was not supposed to save her.
Jade Monroe got promoted on Monday. On Friday she received a notice from the Department of Homeland Security informing her that she was not, technically, a legal citizen of the United States. Thirty-six years old, born in Mexico, raised in Los Angeles, and suddenly facing removal proceedings — Jade calls the only immigration attorney who says he can help. Emeka Adaeze is brilliant, principled, Nigerian-American, and completely off-limits. A story about belonging, bureaucracy, and the love that finds you when you are fighting to stay.
