About the Book

A new American family rejoiced at the prospects of integrating into their beautiful new country. The future appeared very promising as hard work and perseverance appeared to be paying off. Most neighbors and colleagues were very friendly and accommodating. But a misguided minority of the populace who tagged themselves "owners" to the exclusion of all others, constantly sneered. And these were supposed to be cooperating colleagues in the work-place. The latter began to display unmitigated hostility and bias. They began to impress it upon the innocent "newcomers" that "this is not your America". The helpless victims balked, wondering at every turn where they had gone wrong. In the midst of the dilemma on whether the victims should succumb to bigotry or whether they should assert their rights as citizens, Shelia, and others like her, stepped in with soothing and reassuring words. The latter were like little Angels who represented the best of America and humanity. Better reasoning began to prevail and attempts to right the wrongs commenced in earnest. The hitherto silent majority began to wake up to their responsibilities of making the vastly blessed country a much more inclusive and just society, attributes for which God's Own Country had hitherto attracted the brightest and the best from all corners of the globe. "This is your America" began to replace the odious title of "Not Your America?" The apparently inconsequential question mark in the title began to be highlighted. Bigotry and skepticism retreated. Mutual apologies were tendered. Reconciliations, no matter how tenuous, were made and "The Shining City on a Hill" once again began to loom large and maintain its deserved place in an increasingly rancorous and perilous world. "Not Your America?" is the story of the triumph of hard work, love and patience over bigotry and skepticism.
