This was my favorite book of the summer reading program. I am sorry that I missed the discussion.

Cristina Henriquez's novel does deserve more attention. Published in 2015 it was not till the Library choose it for discussion this year that I heard of it and working in the Book Cellar you come across most newly published works at one time or another. It gives a insightful picture of newly arrived people seeking the 'life, liberty and pursuit of happiness' described in the Declaration of Independence.
