The Book of Unknown Americans, by Cristina HenriquezA timely and tragic read of the immigrant experience in America, this is an important story for all Americans to read. The Riveras come to the U.S. to create a better life for their head injury-affected daughter, Maribel.
Henriquez crafts stories from Central and South American immigrants, pulling from their back stories and their struggles in making a new life in this country.
Sad but worth a read to understand immigrant struggles and the complex experience of trying to make a life in a place where you don't speak the language or understand the culture.
