Sentimental, warm, funny at times, touching. If you're familiar with brain injuries, special education, and first generation immigrants, you'll relate to this book.

I agree with other reviewers - this book is a simplistic portrait. But its also a feel-good story of people who love America, people who still feel awe and amazement at all the freedoms we have here. There is nothing too dark or jaded in this book. Just sincere writing.
