Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.
Hazel RochmanBooks can make a difference in dispelling prejudice and building community: not with role models and recipes, not with noble messages about the human family, but with enthralling stories that make us imagine the lives of others. A good story lets you know people as individuals in all their particularity and conflict; and once you see someone as a person-flawed, complex, striving-you've reached beyond stereotype.
