An Immigrant's Quest

About the Book

An incredibly entertaining, deeply moving memoir set in the mid-fifties. It is a story that will make you cry and laugh out loud. It talks of a journey through this great country from coast to coast, and gives voice to our most powerful emotions. It is a story of a young man who struggles to find his way in this new land of long winters, as his past impinges on the present, bringing both hope and despair. An unforgettable story of family and friendship, of loves lost and won. It is also a story that will resonate to many an immigrant from that time when there was little support for newcomers to this land of dreams and second chances. It is a fast moving narrative with the innate ability to describe the true story of a forgotten past.
