I do have to say the cover was a little scary, but the stories inside are intriguing.

Although I don’t read many short story anthologies – this one was interesting. The perspective was very different from my own background, so made the stories different to me.

Laundromat Story - I don’t think I’ve spent a lot of time at Laundromats (I remember my mom washing our curtains one time at the Laundromat). The people there were very interesting and the stories they told were part of what was intertwined.

Family Album - Tell the story of some of the family and some of the circumstances of growing up. The family dynamics are those of a large family. It’s wonderful how the family can support each other and tell the history of their siblings. The younger generation is intrigued by what was done and how they came to the US.

  3. Thanks so much for hosting the book. I appreciate your write up. The cover is by a fairly well-known Illinois artist and I hoped would be a striking image.
