Description
Abdi Nor Iftin's memoir is a story of love and longing for America, born from a childhood fascination with the country's pop culture and heroic figures. As a young boy, he identified with the Americans who brought hope and stability to his war-torn homeland. However, when the situation in his country turned dire, Abdi was forced to adapt and use his language skills to survive. He eventually found himself in Kenya, before winning a spot in the US through the annual visa lottery. His journey to America was far from easy, but Abdi's determination and resilience ultimately led him to a new life in Maine. Now, as he navigates the path to citizenship, his story serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring appeal of America to those seeking a better life. This memoir is a deeply stirring account of one man's quest for a new home and a new sense of belonging.
