Nana's House: The Lemon Tree

By Carl R. ToersBijns

Nana's house is a short story about an Arizona family enduring internal family and domestic problems, drug abuse, marital relations and of course, the impact of the infamous Arizona immigration bill - the political storms of SB 1070. Also included are the economic hardships of finding work and the daily stress and multi-cultural challenges found in most Hispanic homes living in the Phoenix metro area and exposed to different dynamics that are related to immigration, basic household living, divorce, drug abuse, cultural clashes and festivities, life, death, sorrow and imprisonment of family members associated with street or prison gangs. The lemon tree is an analogy of the bittersweet fruit that exists in every household that endures the daily anxieties and struggles of a minority family living during troublesome times and dysfunctional elements of raising kids in the poor side of town and making sure they finish school and do something productive with their lives.
