Can you provide books on how we are to move forward in an environment that lasts all that wish too do so? I know who I am, my cultural background and the hurtles that have to be achieves. That bit of luggage will remain with me, but it should not stop me from taking part and advancing in America. I am an American.
I look forward to more of your book reviews.
