Description: "Children of immigrants are different. They are their parents' guides to American ways. In Proud Americans : Growing Up As Children of Immigrants, they share personal accounts of merging cultures and religions while creating their own identities ... The approximately 40 inspiring stories feature people who live across the United States with family roots that stretch around the globe. Among those featured are Hollywood stars, high-profile business and media people, athletes, members of the President's cabinet, elected officials, and those whose names may not be recognizable but whose stories are memorable."--Cover.
