Index
Bhagwan Satiani has put together an enjoyable and useful book for immigrant parents bringing up children in a foreign culture that is often mystifying. He has researched his community carefully, addressed sensitive issues, and offered practical solutions bolstered by candid personal experience. As a parent, the book made me ponder many important child-rearing issues. I wish I had read it when my children were younger!
