“Every time you leave something that has defined you — a lover, a stage of life, a marriage, a country — you are an immigrant, learning immigrant lessons the hard way.”

Immigrant Lessons is the story of two women, forty years apart, crossing the sea to the shores of their promised land — one fleeing Hitler, the other pursuing her spirituality — and finding gain as well as loss in the transition. With unusual candor and insight, this warm, lively, and at times laugh-out-loud funny book explores in rich color the rewards and challenges of immigration and family relationships. Part memoir, part lyrical prose poem, Judith Edelman-Green’s fluid tale of dislocation and change, enrichment, growth, and just plain survival will appeal to anyone who has ever been displaced, by circumstance or by choice.

Paperback, 264 pages
