520    From award-winning actress and political activist America 
       Ferrera comes a vibrant and varied collection of first 
       person accounts from prominent figures about the 
       experience of growing up between cultures.America Ferrera 
       has always felt wholly American, and yet, her identity is 
       inextricably linked to her parents' homeland and Honduran 
       culture. Speaking Spanish at home, having Saturday-morning
       -salsa-dance-parties in the kitchen, and eating tamales 
       alongside apple pie at Christmas never seemed at odds with
       her American identity. Still, she yearned to see that 
       identity reflected in the larger American narrative. Now, 
       in American Like Me, America invites thirty-one of her 
       friends, peers, and heroes to share their stories about 
       life between cultures. We know them as actors, comedians, 
       athletes, politicians, artists, and writers. However, they
       are also immigrants, children or grandchildren of 
       immigrants, indigenous people, or people who otherwise 
       grew up with deep and personal connections to more than 
       one culture. Each of them struggled to establish a sense 
       of self, find belonging, and feel seen. And they call 
       themselves American enthusiastically, reluctantly, or not 
       at all. Ranging from the heartfelt to the hilarious, their
       stories shine a light on a quintessentially American 
       experience and will appeal to anyone with a complicated 
       relationship to family, culture, and growing up.
