Being Grisha: A Story of an American Russian

Grisha is caught between two cultures, one Russian, one Irish and part of a third, American. He is the grandson of grandparents from Russia and Ireland. His parents are first-generation Americans. This is a situation in which many American second-generation children find themselves. Grisha, like other children of similar circumstances, survives and does well. All stories like GRISHA are really similar, and only the details seem to make the differences. Delve into this book and maybe you will identify with the similarities, as well as the differences, and find bits and pieces of your own story.
