Many of my students are either immigrants, first generation, or second generation Americans who are improving their English Skills. This novel focuses on the experiences of an immigrant and her family, leaving the violence in their home nation, and then adapting to life in the United States.

I'm hopeful that in reading about a character with whom they can connect will engage them into a deeper level of reading.
