Albert's Journey

born in a sleepy Italian town, who comes to the United States

during the great wave of immigration in the first decades of the

20th Century. Albert eventually sets out on his own path, moving

to California and planting his own family roots. Growing up, going

to high school, finding his true love and building a wide circle of

family and friends, this biography mainly depicts the life of a young

immigrant boy who – thousands of miles away from his familiar,

comfortable boyhood home – decides to discover for himself all that

his new country promises. Albert’s Journey touches on the lives of

many millions of immigrants who came to the United States, and

still come, to find a better life; it’s a warm, poignant reminder that

someone new and unfamiliar in our country is, at heart, not that much

different than those of us who desire a happy life; one full of love,

family and friends, and motivated by a passion for doing whatever

we hope to do. Easy-to-read and filled with photos, the story is ideal

for young preteen and adolescent readers studying the history of

immigration; just the book for those who want to learn more about

the personal experiences and adventures that immigrants, especially

those close to their own ages, found in their new national home.
