Description
A sensitive and observant writer describes the toil and true grit of immigrants, our agonizing moral choices between a previous generation’s standards of honor and the demands of an unfamiliar world. Along the way, each character shows how love or desperation can guide us to re-imagine and transform our futures. These are stories to inspire and replenish our resilience. ~ Shauna Singh Baldwin
