A Great Country by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
4.5

Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This is a powerful book centered on a real problem the US faces and how it affects one family.  The storyline had me hooked from the beginning, and I felt like the characters were very relatable.  The ending was just a bit too easily wrapped up in my opinion.  Overall, this was a great read and a story that needs to be told.  I recommend for those who enjoy books about racial divides in current affairs.
