Official Review: Pursuing a Better Tomorrow

[Melwag91]

I always love to see books addressing current topics, not just because they’re hot issues but because it helps show different perspectives. Perspectives we can learn from. Every person’s experience is different and to highlight not just one but three different lives in this book is such a unique way to do that.

The book preview reminded me of stories from my parents and grandparents about earlier generations taking a boat to the new world in steerage. Brave and determined people to find a better life. My respect goes to all.

Pursuing a Better Tomorrow by Blanca M De La Rosa is a realistic novel. The author told a story related to reality. That's why more people will relate to it. Congratulations on #botd.

Bringing attention to the very real problem facing us today concerning immigration is quite commendable and using a generational memoir to do so is quite a unique approach. I am not much on memoirs, so I will pass on this one, but I enjoyed reading your very engaging review!

I think this book would be eye-opening for a lot of people who only know about immigration concerns from an outsider's perspective, especially when it is such an important topic in modern politics. Great review!

It is amazing for the author to piece together many facts of her family lineage and make a good story out of it. Jose' leaving Spain at an early age and following his decisions impacted the author. I like that the tone of the book is positive and funny and that the message is to dare to dream.

I'm so glad to see a book about immigration that shows different sides. I've always believed that immigrants must be a dire situations to move to a new country. Some forget in the U. S. that most of us had family that immigrated at some point. This sounds like an excellent book.

This sounds like a truly enlightening read with a lot to offer. I appreciate the author's attempt at shedding some light on a typical immigrant's experience and motivations. Thanks for sharing.

This book is so interesting to skip, it's a must read for me. The humour Incorporated makes it even more easier to read. Immigrants consisting of three generations is quite an interesting idea.

The book sounds so inspiring and motivating and with a four-star rating I am convinced that I need to read it. Both immigrants and the non-immigrants can gain a a lot from the book. Many thanks for providing such an insightful review.

[Scarlet Nicoll]

In the review: "She writes especially for her children and grandchildren so that they may be inspired by the story of their ancestors and forge ahead with confidence." This is a sweet thought! Thank you!

This story is about finding hope in America just like the countless other immigrants from different parts of the world. I like also the fact that Blanca and her family pressed on despite the earlier hardships they faced in the US. Nice review.

This sounds like a fascinating book. I'm sure this book will be eye-opening to most of us who take things for granted. I'm interested in reading this book. But, I'll be sampling the book before I decide that for sure.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting book on immigration. Further, the author allows her child to tell how she adapted to living in America. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

It's a message that serves to illustrate just how entrenched the views of our world "leaders" really are. Even by today's postmodern world where there is little reason that immigrants, which are a minority looking for honest work, are incendiary. Perhaps if we spent less time worrying about open-borders, we'd resolve more important matters, such as, climate change. Droughts also are one of the main reasons for immigration, as we saw with the Middle East not too long ago.
