About this audiobook
Our children and young people are growing up in a dynamic, complex and ever-changing world. Having the ability to embrace change and to absorb and adapt in a positive way, is as important as ever. I wrote this story to convey the importance to my own children of understanding risk and resilience, whilst also being aware of the impact they can have on others and their environment

Grant Kennedy
Grant Kennedy is an immigrant from Jamaica who has been living in the United States since December 1976. Unlike the immigrants he writes about in this book, he came to America legally, with a green card. But as someone from the immigrant community, he was privy to and was always very intrigued by the stories of hardship and courage of those around him who came to the United States illegally. He was also concerned about how such intelligent, hard-working and inspiring people did not have a voice in the debates about them. And how the US immigration system has been intentionally lax with its enforcement efforts while the US underground economy flourished from the illegal aliens’ ingenuity and cheap, slave-like labor, (which have trickled up to benefit the “real economy”). But now that some ultra nationalist politicians are making illegal immigration issue part of their agenda, it seems that the immigration service is now forced to be over-reaching with its enforcement efforts, which have caused great angst and very difficult conditions in the immigrants’ communities. However, despite the difficult conditions, the immigrants will keep coming by any means necessary-- no matter what walls are erected on the borders. Because, in spite of the hardships immigrants face, America is still the most welcoming country and a place where they can have a chance to rise above their circumstances, pursue their dreams, and actualize their God-given potential. Mr. Kennedy is a CPA. He currently lives in Westchester County, New York, with his wife. They have three young adult sons and one grandson. His purpose in writing this book is to give the American reader a glimpse into what immigrants go through to become part of the American experience that so many take for granted.
