In her memoir,A Lemon Grows in Queens, author Darlene Weinbrenner shares the memories of her family's journey as United States immigrants through love, and determination.

Her maternal great-grandmother and her children immigrated to America in 1920, and although they battled poverty that impacted future generations, they preserved, and each member of their developing family made contributions to their cumulative odyssey. It is through many trials and triumphs that Darlene became the woman, wife, and mother she is today.

"This memoir captures the experiences of my family as we navigated life. It's a testament to the resilience and fortitude of first, second, and third generation immigrants, our family bonds, and tenacity."

These stories highlight the unique challenges of language and social barriers, financial strain, marriage, illness, and death- while also emphasizing the value of love, growth, and valor that can only be sewn into the hearts of those who have overcome adversity.

A Lemon Grows in Queens is filled with hope for those who struggle with both internal and external battles. Through sharing her hardships, from poverty to cancer, the author inspires others to face their trials with bravery and steadfastness.
