When I lived in the New Orleans area, I learned to respect the Vietnamese immigrants who chose to settle there. Many were ostracized, and they left for more accepting places such as California.

I NEED to read this book.
And about La Cuarentena, my husband is from El Salvador, but they do kind of the same thing. He's been pushing the issue so I'll let his Grandma come stay with us when we have our second baby, and I've been really reluctant. I guess I didn't realize it was such a big deal.
