Description

"Is it possible to enter into a new place without surrendering your old self and all that defines it? That is the question explored in the twenty-two original essays contained in this extraordinary collection. It is the same question America grapples with as it enters the new century. As Lynn Freed writes in her inspiring and witty essay, "Embracing the Alien": "I do not belong here, and I have had to turn not belonging into a triumph." --Publisher (barnesandnoble.com)
