When the opportunity arises for a big assignment that might save her flagging career, Melanie follows the story to the land of her mother's birth. She soon realizes Colombia has the potential to connect her, after all these years, to something she's long ignored: her heritage, the love of her mother, her family, and the richest parts of herself. Colombia offers more than a chance to make a name for herself as a writer. It is a place of untold stories. Inspired by real-life events, An American Immigrant is a story of culture and community, of abiding commitment to family, and of embracing our culture and the generations that have come before."-- $c Provided by publisher. 941 $a 6 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710065009.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011314.0 952 $l KXPA353 $d 20240113010604.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206013356.0 952 $l NJPD993 $d 20231006132232.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20231005012224.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9085845A634411EE8577B53D35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
