review 1: Drawn in by the writing style and interested in main character from Canada who moved to the U.S. When I was about 50 pages in, I wanted to not like this book because it called into question my beliefs, everything I had grown up with and known as true my whole life. I wanted to say it was wrong to question and doubt. But try as I may, I couldn't put it down and I couldn't dismiss it. It questioned what needs to be questioned, and re-imagined what needs to change...in an eloquent, gentle way without anger or hate. 13 Yeras in America is a must-read.
review 2: Love it. Melanie Steele honours us with a glimpse into 13 years of her life, while simultaneously providing insight, commentary and food for thought on the social, political, and cultural changes that took p... morelace in the United States (and beyond) over those years. Her memoir is brutally honest and heart-wrenching, while her social commentary is super-charged. Underlying the personal narrative is an unwavering theme of hope, which is really inspiring. As a reader, I found myself rooting for her and hoping desperately for positive changes that would allow Melanie and her beautiful family to realize their dreams. At the same time, I found myself wishing the same for us all. less
