Summary: "Every family has a story of how they arrived in America, whether it was a few months, years, decades, or centuries ago. 'Journeys: An American Story' celebrates the vastness and variety of immigration tales in America, featuring seventy-two essays about the different ways we got here. This is a collection of family lore, some that has been passed down through generations, and some that is being created right now."--Front flap of dust jacket.
