Here We Are

American Dreams, American Nightmares (A Memoir)

Aarti Namdev Shahani

An emotional memoir that tells the story of an immigrant family's American Dream, the harsh justice system that took it away, and the daughter who fought to get it back. This book follows the lives of a scholarship kid at one of Manhattan's most elite prep schools and her shopkeeper father who unwittingly sells watches and calculators to a drug cartel. Here We Are sheds light on the complexities of immigrants in America and the extremes that coexist in our country, even within a single family.
