Spotlight: Immigration and Adaptation

I've heard say that America is a melting pot. Well, I'd prefer we were more like a stew. We'll simmer until our flavors blend together while we remain true to ourselves at our core. Does that make sense to you?

Come to the front door, bring the best of your old home to your new home. Share your old home "flavor" will us but blend in with your new home.

I was excited when I received the invitation for this blog tour, it sounds like the author agrees with me. I was disappointed when the time was didn't work. At least I can spotlight the book and advertise the tour.
