American Like Me

American Like Me: Reflections on Life Between Cultures by America Ferrera
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. It's simply stories of American people - their lives, their hopes, their struggles, and their dreams. America Ferrera's commentary adds a profound touch as she opens and closes the book. Some of the names of the contributors, you'll recognize. Others will sound vaguely familiar and others you won't know at all, but it doesn't matter. Each has its own impact and is a strong reminder that we need to value each individual we come across no matter our seeing differences. After all, we're so much more alike than we are different.

Happy reading--

ps. I finished this the day before the inauguration. It was perfect timing as we enter a new stage in American history.
