" America is a country formed by diverse communities from different countries. Overall, the country is very hospitable and gives opportunities to grow. Saying that, I’d also say I’m not a ‘white’ immigrant; a South Asian’s experience is different than, say, a European immigrant’s. " - Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

" I came from a traditional family, and it was an exciting but challenging transition to move to America and live on my own. The world around me was suddenly so different. " - Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
