A story of hardship and struggle

America is in the heart is an excellent book talking about a man's struggle to survive in his native islands and be accepted into the harsh society of America. This book truely shows the trials and hardships an immigrant goes through and I reccomend id to those who struggled as a child and struggled to be accepted into American society. This book makes us aware of the harsh realities of the way people were treated early this century. Famaly tradegies and struggles.
