Real Americans will stick with me for a long time. It’s a multi-generational narrative that crafts a story through quite a span of time. Lived experiences for several family members are written in beautiful, and at times, heartbreaking detail. This is a true depiction about how environment, world events, and our personal choices while navigating the uncontrollable can have a trickle down effect for generations.
