Description

In Green Card and Other Essays, ine Greaney invites her readers to follow her three-decades' long journey from Irish citizen and resident to new immigrant and green card holder to dual citizenship that now includes naturalized U.S. citizenship. These first-person essays offer an intimate perspective on the challenges--fear, displacement, assimilation and dueling identities--faced by many immigrants from all countries. They explore what inspires us to commit to a new country--and what holds us back. As a collection, Green Card exemplifies the power of storytelling to build bridges of understanding and a deeper joy in our shared humanity.
