The story is based on my experiences; they are reflections of my distinctive journey as an immigrant under considerably unique circumstances. Although countless of Argentine immigrants have come to the United States, many of them of mixed ethnicities, my story tells the tale of a multicultural girl who, because of her father’s employment, divided her life in between her home country and her adopted country. The story of the whirlwind courtship that ensued could only have taken place under these circumstances.

With Love, The Argentina Family ~ Memories of Tango and Kugel; Mate with Knishes is a unique account, sharing the insecurities and confusion of a young, immigrant girl. Dramas and delights abound with a long distance, whirlwind relationship unfolding in the aftermath of Argentina's "Dirty War," including a frightening interrogation with the Argentine Police and an astonishing encounter at the American Consulate.

Follow the sometimes comical, sometimes poignant trials and tribulations of a girl coming to terms with her Jewish heritage, her Argentine traditions and a fierce patriotism to her new country.
