Sometimes We Win (Nonfiction), Cambridge, MA
My essay collection, Sometimes We Win, is an unflinching look at the immigrant rights movement, spotlighting a group of rabble-rousing janitors in Boston.
“This is a story of wins and losses, elation and grief, and above all, the delightfully messy humanity when we fight with too few resources but so much hope.”
