About this listen

Waking Up from My American Dream tells the story of Susana Perez, a woman who immigrates to the US with her toddler and her 10-month-old baby, looking for a fresh start. Unsure and afraid, Susana leaves her hometown of Montevideo, Uruguay, and reunites with her husband, who left them a few weeks earlier for work prospects in the United States.

What she doesn't realize is that she brought with her a heavy load that will take her 20 years to unravel. A poignant story of loss, grief, love, and hope.
