Here We Are by Aarti Namdev Shahani

10/1/2019

0 Comments

 
The author is a very successful NPR correspondent who went to a great NYC prep school on scholarship and a great university and her father and uncle went to jail for helping launder money for the Cali drug cartel. Aarti Namdev Shahani gives us the ultimate immigrant experience from adjusting to a new country as a child and the difficulties her parents faced looking for work and trying to make a better life for their family to how it all backfired. She also provides us with a touching portrait of her father both his strengths and weaknesses. I was especially moved by the conversation she later had with the judge who convicted her father. Touching and truthful - this is one story of an American family who fought for the right to be a part of this country and to make a better life for themselves.
