My parents came to the U.S. as immigrants seeking a better life. And although I wasn't originally born in the U.S. I consider myself to be an American so I can identify with some of the characters in "Living La Vida Spanglish." Achieving the American dream is what so many people strive for. This particular book contains a collection of short stories of Latin immigrants and the struggles they must overcome in order to achieve their American dreams. The reality is that immigrants who come to the U.S. face various obstacles that most of us cannot even imagine. This book is a revelation of these struggles. Poignantly written, "Living La Vida Spanglish" is both heart wrenching and moving. Highly recommended!
