Focused on faith and woven with Christian, ecumenical, and patriotic themes, Our Immigrants' Son is an exploration and celebration of family. The genres of prose poetry and historical fiction very cleverly takes you through the author's rich Irish American history. It begins in misty Ireland and takes you through generations of the Murphy clan while also teaching you how to write your family story. The storyteller is US Navy Captain, John Francis Patrick Murphy, Retired, a direct descendant of those past Murphys whose lives he, with his family and a team of researchers and historians, documented in both the factual sense as well as adding artistic license to make this history a rich and emotional journey. Our Immigrant's Son opens in 1845 with ancestor Michael Joseph Murphy's parents, Patrick and Mary, undertaking a dangerous ocean voyage across the Atlantic to a new land. It then follows and documents Michael's journey from birth, to Civil War private at age sixteen, to Lawrence police chief and beyond. This riveting story is the tale of all immigrant families, regardless of nationality, race, ethnicity, heritage, or culture. It reveals the undeniable truth that immigrants are our past, present, and future. It affirms that those who come to our shores to join us and aspire to our best ideals are courageous, noble, and visionary. Part two of this book follows the author's carefully outlined research, step-by-step writing strategies, and his use of history as a touchstone. Our Immigrants' Son invites you to join Captain Murphy on a journey to write your own family story and share it with those you love.

LOOKING BACK AND MOVING FORWARD is a book that entertains, amuses, enlightens, and touches our hearts. The author, Willie Gruenwald, son of German and Austrian Jews who were fortunate enough to escape Hitler's Europe, is both the son of immigrants, and himself an immigrant when he moved from Peru to the United States at the age of twenty. Gruenwald tells us his experiences as a child of immigrants. It is his story and, at the same time, the story of many other sons and daughters of immigrants. His parents, trying to escape the European hell to wherever they could, arrived in Peru, not by design but by accident, and were received by a generous people who opened their arms and hearts to them. It was not easy for immigrants to adapt to different countries, different languages, customs, and food. But they did it and reciprocated gratefully by working hard, building up businesses that provided work and income to many Peruvian families. Gruenwald's objective in this book is to remember, understand and appreciate the struggles and challenges faced by that first generation. This book is not an attempt to answer all questions. On the contrary, the author raises more questions hoping that the reader, immigrant or not, will have a more profound understanding of the circumstances of our times.

In this book, while the author is translating his father's Greek manuscripts written some thirty years ago, he describes life, suffering, and struggle to survive in the cruel world of the twentieth century. His father and mother both born in Greek cities of Asia Minor escaped the Turkish brutality and the Hellenic Holocaust of 1916 to 1922. They came to Greece in 1922 and survived the difficult and inhumane conditions of the refugee settlements. There they met, were married some time in 1935, and after losing their first child to poverty and conditions unfit to human dignity, they brought to this world in 1937 the author of this book, who was followed by seven other children. The author and five of the siblings are still alive today.

"I moved for a better life for my children." For the first time, this common refrain in immigration stories is captured in an extraordinary way: through heartfelt letters from immigrants to their children. Our children are why a loving parent does anything. They are why we work late or work multiple jobs. They are why we stay. They are why we leave. They are why we laugh. They are why we fear. They are our reasons. Reflective, daring, inspiring, and heartfelt, this compilation of twenty letters represents perspectives from first- and second-generation immigrants from Mexico, Nigeria, Nepal, Jamaica, Taiwan, and more. In their letters, contributors consider the future they want for their children, draw from their experiences, and confess their hopes for their future. In an era of biased bans and controlled borders, when shouts of "build the wall" and "send them back" seem to have grown louder, the narratives of everyday immigrants have become more important than ever. This anthology celebrates the immigrant experience and shows how they and their children embody the American dream. In Dreams for Our Children, you will find stories of belonging, rejection, and resilience. You will walk the journeys of first- and second-generation Americans as they make sense of their cultural identity, connect with their heritage, and pave a new path forward for themselves and future generations. Perhaps, in this anthology, you will find you. "A collection of poignant, powerful, and visceral love letters that are filled with the hopes of immigrant parents. These stories are what make our country powerful." -Murali Balaji, diversity advisor and professional development supervisor at the University of Pennsylvania and founder of Maruthi Education Consulting "Dreams for Our Children shows how little immigrant parents have shared with our children and intentionally creates a template for revealing ourselves to them for posterity." -Muyiwa Sobo, attorney "A must-read primer for anyone wanting to see the good and best of immigration and immigrants. This is why the Statue of Liberty's message of 'give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free' must continue to be the centerpiece of America's immigration policy." -MaryRose Ozee Nwadike, LLM, former immigration lawyer

INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARD WINNER - The Raul Yzaguirre Best Political/Current Affairs Book This deeply personal perspective from a human rights lawyer—whose work on the front lines of the fight against family separations in South Texas intertwines with his own story of immigrating to the United States at thirteen—reframes the United States' history as a nation of immigrants but also a nation against immigrants. In the summer of 2018, Efrén C. Olivares found himself representing hundreds of immigrant families when Zero Tolerance separated thousands of children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. Twenty-five years earlier, he had been separated from his own father for several years when he migrated to the U.S. to work. Their family was eventually reunited in Texas, where Efrén and his brother went to high school and learned a new language and culture. By sharing these gripping family separation stories alongside his own, Olivares gives voice to immigrants who have been punished and silenced for seeking safety and opportunity. Through him we meet Mario and his daughter Oralia, Viviana and her son Sandro, Patricia and her son Alessandro, and many others. We see how the principles that ostensibly bind the U.S. together fall apart at its borders. My Boy Will Die of Sorrow reflects on the immigrant experience then and now, on what separations do to families, and how the act of separation itself adds another layer to the immigrant identity. Our concern for fellow human beings who live at the margins of our society—at the border, literally and figuratively—is shaped by how we view ourselves in relation both to our fellow citizens and to immigrants. He discusses not only law and immigration policy in accessible terms, but also makes the case for how this hostility is nothing new: children were put in cages when coming through Ellis Island, and Japanese Americans were forcibly separated from their families and interned during WWII. By examining his personal story and the stories of the families he represents side by side, Olivares meaningfully engages readers with their assumptions about what nationhood means in America and challenges us to question our own empathy and compassion.

Immigrants are vital to America's economy and national security. They make our food. They care for the ill, injured, and elderly in our healthcare system. They contribute to our country's technological might. And yet, our immigration system is fundamentally broken. Millions of immigrants live lives of uncertainty and fear. Meanwhile, businesses are baffled by convoluted hiring practices. Worst of all, scores of DACA kids contribute faithfully to their adopted country without any clear path to citizenship. In The Sons of Wetbacks, Texas attorney and third-generation Mexican-American Jacob Montilijo Monty offers a compelling conservative case for immigration reform. While many on the right oppose immigration reform because of a belief that all Latinos are liberals, this couldn't be further from the truth. Rather, Latinos put great value on faith, family, and private enterprise, making them a natural fit for the GOP. The author lays out a clearly articulated approach to reform immigration in a manner that is pragmatic, fair and in line with the principles of conservatism. Monty says, "We're not talking about amnesty. The bad hombres should be sent back. But, Latino immigrants are here to work. Let's vet them and get them working with legitimate papers. It would go a long way to making America great again."

Immigrant’s Son By: Ralph Calabrese An Immigrant’s Son tells the story of an immigrant who taught his son about pride and patriotism. The son, due to the examples set by the father, fostered a love for God and country. The father was very proud when his sons entered the military. He told them, “This is your country. If you don’t love it and fight for it, do not expect anyone else to.” Calabrese’s father loved this country so much, he inspired Calabrese to write the following poem. My Hero, My Dad Came from across the sea From a country in Europe called Italy He came to America where he could be free And raise a family with many opportunities So lift your glass and give a toast To a great America my hero my dad.
