PRAISE FOR COME ON IN
An extraordinary anthology featuring exquisite writing and offering a genuinely diverse collection on the richly layered topic of immigration... A must-have antidote to xenophobia and a much-needed, compassionate mirror for many.
There is humor, tenderness, despair, outrage, and tenacity… This is a poignant and powerful collection of universal themes embedded with cultural specificity.
