Land of New Hope

Land of New Hope is the story of a young European's encounter with the reality of America. It is part memoir and part a hymn to freedom. Each chapter addresses some of her experiences with food, language, customs, and with the issues of ethnicity, racial conflict, and American identity. She travels across the states, is a witness to the changes that have taken place in the country from the 1950s to the present, and reflects on how they have affected her life.
