Description

American Dreaming and Other Stories is about people in transition. An estranged couple rearranges their physical and emotional landscape after a storm. A Thai woman working as a housekeeper struggles to connect with her teenaged daughter. A young bride-to-be confronts the father who abandoned her before birth. Each story stands alone and is satisfying, but together, these contemporary stories resonate and create a portrait of life in the modern South.

Author and physician Doris Iarovici explores the myths and realities behind that American ideal of self-made success. She mines the perspective of her own immigrant childhood to give us a glimpse into the newer faces populating these United States. Her characters possess remarkable resilience, empathy, and the hope for redemption in even the most bewildering of times.
