The book How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents was a great book about the American expierence. These 4 girls left their homeland of the Dominican Republic and went to America. They disobeyed thier old-world discipline, and went to America, and found who they truly were. America changed the four girls, into people that their parents never thought they would be. This novel compares to the "Joy Luck Club" there are many similiarities. This novel shows how *Americainizing* girls can be good and bad. There are humorous stories and some very seroius stories. This is a great book and everyone should read this book, to get a feel for what it is really like to come to America from a foreign country, and the expierences, and issues people have to deal with....Great Book:-)
