A Step From Heaven Audiobook

" Gre "

" A Step From Heaven was an excellent book placing the reader in the shoes of an immigrant to the United States. Young Ju is the character that the reader follows as she moves to America from Korea. THe book is written in such a way that the reader can see how Young Ju is growing in her English and knowledge of what is truly American by the way the book is written. Although this book does evoke sadness it brings to light the reality of the experiences of some immigrants to America. This helps the reader think about how he or she treats immigrants and breaks down stereotypes placed on immigrants. "

" I thought that this book was very powerful. I read it in one day so it kinda sped by and I only read it for school but it was pretty good and exceeded my expectations.It was about a Korean girl who moved to America, convinced it was heaven, but her experience was completely different and she learns more about herself as a person and her family. At first it was weird because it starts out when she was 5 and extends until she's going to college, which is pretty cool. Usually I wouldn't like it because I like more of the fantasy kind of books like the hunger games but this was a "good read". "

" This book is amazingly real and haunting but so beautiful at the same time. The emotion is so raw and so consistent, I couldn't put the book down for one second. A beautiful read for anyone who enjoys stories about families from other cultures who move to America searching for the American Dream. "

" What a great strong heroine, learning to live in a new culture while her father falls apart and turns abusive under the strain and her mother struggles to keep the family together. A fast read but worth it. "

" Excellent multicultural book for young readers. "
