Customer Reviews

Nice mix of perspectives, thoughts, lives

I bought this book at a bookstore in Santa Clara, California, on my way home to the east coast, because it just looked interesting. It turned out to be a great purchase. The perspectives were beautifully mixed. Nice blend of perspectives of those who came to the west under good circumstances and bad circumstances, for whatever opportunity awaited, from other countries or remote parts of this one. Definitely thought-provoking, pleasant, with lots of nice imagery evocative of so much that's interesting about the west coast.
