Steven V. Roberts - From Every End Of This Earth
Oct 23 2009 7:00 pm

Roberts, a journalist, explores the experience of immigration by tracking the fortunes of thirteen families who have recently come to the United States. He captures the voices of those living the promise of a new land—and the difficulties of starting over among strangers whose suspicions increasingly outweigh their open-armed acceptance. The impetus for Roberts’s book is his own immigrant roots; he talks about his Grandpa Abe, who arrived almost 100 years ago. And today, "America is still renewed by fresh transfusions of foreign blood," Roberts writes.
