Is the American Dream still alive? If you speak to many of the immigrants we spoke to, who came to this country with nothing but grit, resilience, and a dream, they will tell you that it certainly is still alive.

“Don’t be afraid to ask for advice and help from those who know what you want to learn. I have found that most folks, regardless of race, are fundamentally willing to help others IF it does not cost them out of pocket.

Most of them were very generous with their time, and they wanted me to be successful since I was writing about a subject matter close to their hearts…” – Robert Wang

Readers Choice- L.E Clark

Lucinda E Clarke for Readers’ Favorite

The historical information was woven seamlessly into the story and I suspect the author researched the facts thoroughly. A fairly balanced argument from both sides which highlights the great and avarice and arrogance of mankind which has not changed one iota in the last two hundred years. I wish I could give it 6 stars.
