Description
Out of Many, One: Portraits of America's Immigrants, written by President George W. Bush, spotlights the inspiring journeys of America's immigrants and the contributions they make to the life and prosperity of our nation. In the tradition of Portraits of Courage, President Bush's #1 New York Times bestseller, Out of Many, One brings together 43 full-color portraits of men and women who have immigrated to the United States, alongside stirring stories of the unique ways all of them are pursuing the American Dream. Featuring men and women from 35 countries and nearly every region of the world, Out of Many, One shows how hard work, strong values, dreams and determination know no borders or boundaries and how immigrants embody values that are often viewed as distinctly American: optimism and gratitude, a willingness to strive and to risk, a deep sense of patriotism and a spirit of self-reliance that runs deep in our immigrant heritage.
