IMMIGRANT OF THE DAY: HELENE COOPER - AUTHOR

By Greg Siskind

ADVERTISEMENTS

I was waiting in line at Starbucks yesterday and noticed that the book they are featuring for sale at stores across the country is by Liberian-born Helene Cooper. The book is called the House at Sugar Beach and is about her growing up in Liberia and her immigrant experience in the US. Ms. Cooper is a name you may be familiar with if you read the New York Times, the newspaper for which she reports. I bought a copy and will write about it after I get to read it. If others have read it, tell us what you think.
