By the year 2025, studies show that 60% of children in America will be children of immigrants. Even though our parents' roots may stretch in many different directions, we have much in common, according to my research and interviews for my new book, PROUD AMERICANS: GROWING UP AS CHILDREN OF IMMIGRANTS.

Our parents have had high expectations for us to live the American dream, succeed in the United States, and honor our religions, cultures and traditions. The book will be for sale soon at amazon.com.
