Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Will grab immigrant teens, but all readers will relate to the stories across generations, for curriculum and personal reading."
--Booklist

"This is a book that should be read by everyone who cares how people live today, with whom, and why. . . . It's impossible to exaggerate the importance of this work and the major impact it will have, on individual opinions and public policy. But this is also a fascinating book that will make you laugh and cry in recognition, a story of your relativity and mine, the true story of the human family."
--Robin Morgan, author of Sisterhood Is Powerful

"Families around the world are adapting to different contexts and pressures, [and] the changing pattern of family life that emerges is a topic which has profound human rights implications for all. . . . Huston's examination of the issues . . . will help us respond positively to changes in family life. It makes the case for strengthening universal human rights all the more compelling."
--Mary Robinson, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
