The Newcomers: Finding Refuge, Friendship, and Hope in an American Classroom

The Newcomers is a powerful and transformative book that offers a nuanced perspective on immigration, multiculturalism, and America's role in the world.

Through the stories of 22 immigrant teenagers at Denver's South High School, this book provides a poignant and remarkable look into their lives and struggles.

At the center of their combined story is Mr.

Williams, a dedicated and resourceful teacher who created an English Language Acquisition class specifically for them.
