Mango and Peppercorns by Tung Nguyen, Katherine Manning, and is a story of the immigrant roots of our nation, the welcoming shore, the contribution of immigrants - first generation and beyond - to this nation. This is also a story of food. Ultimately, this is a book about the American dream, and the challenges and hurdles that face who try to achieve it. Given the political climate in this nation at this point, this is a timely story.
