Produktbeschreibung

The Immigrant's Chronicles is a story about one immigrant's everyday life, her challenges, and triumphs, as she struggles to make the transition between cultures. When we leave our homes, we carry with us our hopes and our innocence. We believe that life overseas is going to be easy. The truth is we have no idea what we are going to encounter. But, in our journey, we are fortunate to meet people who help us along the way. We no longer question why and how. We just know that they are there by providence or by circumstance. We survive day by day. We move from one episode of life to another, knowing that for every door that closes a new one opens. Despite stomach-wrenching fear and uncertainty, we manage to survive. At times, we cannot see how we are going to make it. As a writer, I hope that the people who read this book can relate to the stories and be inspired by my attempts to adopt and adapt to my new homeland and to find compassion for the newbies and immigrants among us. "All people are connected by dots; not by color, race or religion." (Arame)
