A Map Is Only One Story: Twenty Writers on Immigration, Family, and the Meaning of Home by

4.0

After reading this book of 20 short stories, I feel like I’ve just completed a trip around the world of diversity. The book is a compilation of mostly women authors reflecting on their culture, their heritage, ancestry, immigration, race, and how this all intersects with the world at large. Each essay is unique and personal. The reader has the opportunity to visit all six inhabited main continents. The stories relate to current times and ongoing conversations. Their stories are intriguing, entertaining, and simply, human.
