"You give courage, knowledge and above all, hope." -- Nicholas Caldis, Athens, Greece
"An informative and straightforward presentation of life and cultural issues that confront newcomers in this strange new land called America. Full of useful advice and helpful resources on a wide range of important topics." -- Jim Kuh, Migration and Refugee Services, U.S. Catholic Conference
"Even though this book deals with the practical topics for the newcomers to the States, their contents refer to anybody whose intention is to be useful to our society." -- Michael Svonavec, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Purdue University
"A practical and useful resource for all New Americans." -- Constance A. Morella, Member of Congress, Maryland

"The text addresses a number of topics of importance to immigrants and refugees attempting to adjust to life in the United States. Designed for an adult audience, the text offers insights into and explanations for many of the cultural differences." -- James Estes, National Clearinghouse for Bilingual Education (NCBE)
