Industry Reviews

"James Kenyon assembles a compelling, diverse choir of immigrant voices that deliver a unified song of humanity in his collection of stories, The Immigrant Next Door. Kenyon's historical exploration reveals the foundational connecting point for us all, reminding us through the bond of stories that we all have immigrant origins. These stories resonate with a compelling vibrancy that validates the strongest human ties that best happen at the individual level."

- John Busbee, The Culture Buzz, winner of a 2014 Iowa History Award for a feature magazine story

"In The Immigrant Next Door, Kenyon, shares the stories of individuals from around the globe who have come to America looking for a new life. Ultimately these are stories not just of hope and freedom, but of love, loss, success, and disappointment. These are stories that need to be told. Their stories are our stories."

-Lindsey Bartlett, author of Vacant Childhood

I would like to compliment Jim Kenyon for assembling his story collection about these special people who contribute so much to our country and to our social fabric. His set of non-fiction stories truly celebrates the "Immigrant Next Door."
