Come On In is an anthology featuring a very diverse range of authors and stories. Immigration is a heavy subject, so this was not easy to read quickly, and many stories left me feeling irate about the unjust system that allowed for these situations. I could see myself teaching a bunch of these stories. Not all of them were amazing, but all presented a unique viewpoint.
