American Immigrant: My Life in Three Languages

"American Immigrant will delight those who know only the public Dr. Porter. This working class Italian immigrant deferred college to help support her family, ultimately earned a doctorate, and fought against a program hurting immigrant children. Rosalie's a 'Profile in Courage' and an amusing, insightful writer."
-Christine Rossell, Professor of Political Science, Boston University

"Porter is a national treasure-a bilingual teacher who had the guts to take on the politically correct educational establishment."
-John J. Miller, National Review, Author of The Unmaking of Americans

"Rosalie Porter is a fascinating character. Her life story reflects the most basic American ethic-the individual's freedom to work, serve and achieve."
-Lincoln Tamayo, Massachusetts English for the Children Campaign 2002
