This fall, Beyond the Book marks its tenth year as podcast series. On the occasion of the Independence Day holiday in the United States, we reach into the BTB archives for a 2006 Miami Book Fair panel discussion, “Family Secrets, Family Truths: American Immigrant Stories.”

Speaking with CCC’s Chris Kenneally ten years ago were Michael Patrick MacDonald, author of All Souls and Easter Rising: An Irish American Coming Up from Under; Maria Elena Salinas, Univision TV news anchor and author of the memoir, I Am My Father’s Daughter: Living A Life Without Secrets; and Sasha Su-Ling Welland, author of the memoir, A Thousand Miles of Dreams.
