An amazing story for everyone

I absolutely loved the story of the first generation child of an immigrant family. It was rather enlightening as the author truly shows how immigrants are an integral part in society. Always have. Always will be.

Very good story pero a bit short

Very good story pero a bit short. Could have benefited from a bit more backstory on the husband's motivations as well as following some of his actions.
