What Geese Can't Fly? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798621080488)

WHAT GEESE CAN'T FLY? Leaving their homeland in hopes of finding a better life, the Vieira family faces the inherent prejudice that comes with being outsiders and different in America. At a cultural crossroads with the world they left behind and the one they now call home, the story of their struggles is told in three acts through the faces of three siblings-John, Fatima and Grace.- John is constantly beat up at school, shamed and ridiculed by bullies for not being American.- Fatima becomes desperately lonely for her home and friends back in the Azores. - Grace, the youngest, grows up stuck between two cultures, shouldering the weight of everyone's expectations of fulfilling the American dream. She longs to be different from them, to get away. But like her family and culture, is she fated to a way of life that she did not choose? Traveling to a new world with nothing but hope, this is one family's coming-of-age story in America.
