(Re)Born in the USA : an Englishman's love letter to his chosen home

Reborn in the United States of America (other title)

Bennett, Roger 1970- (author.).

Summary: Being a teenager isn't easy, no matter where in the world you live. As a private-schooled Jewish kid in working-class, heavily Catholic Liverpool, Bennett had one ideal that burned bright in his heart: America, with its sunny skies, beautiful women, and cool kids with flipped collars who ate at McDonald's. He embraced American popular culture, and made a real, in-the-flesh American friend who invited him over for the summer. His book captures the universality of growing pains, growing up, and growing out of where you come from. This is both a unique coming-of-age story and the love letter to America that the country needs right now. -- adapted from jacket
