In the Heart of Another: Immigrant Women Tell Their Stories
In these moving interviews, which took over two years to complete, Philips does a brilliant job of connecting historical/ political events in their home countries to the personal lives of these women. We learn about their family histories over three generations, so that the reader can appreciate their deep cultural roots as well as their struggles to adapt to a new society. The book is liberally studded with vivid photographs as well as historical side-panels all contributing to a stimulating read as well as an exciting learning experience.  Adele Wallace,  Librarian  Los Angeles Public Library --Los Angeles Public LibraryIn the Heart of Another touched me deeply. I heard the women telling their stories of war and danger, fear and risk, of families divided and the pain of loss. Each story brings alive the complexity of the women's lives and the decisions they made. Ms. Philips has found a way to let the reader not only be a receiver of stories but also a learner of history. This book will let the world know that the stories of immigrant women matter!
