520    "When Jason DeParle moved in with Tita Comodas in the 
       Manila slums thirty years ago, he didn't expect to make a 
       lifelong friend. Nor did he expect to spend decades 
       reporting on her family--husband, children, and siblings--
       as they came to embody the stunning rise of global 
       migration. In A Good Provider Is One Who Leaves, DeParle 
       paints an intimate portrait of an unforgettable family 
       across three generations, as migration reorders economics,
       politics, and culture across the world. At the heart of 
       the story is Rosalie, Tita's middle child, who escapes 
       poverty by becoming a nurse, and lands jobs in Jeddah, Abu
       Dhabi and, finally, Texas--joining the record forty-four 
       million immigrants in the United States. Migration touches
       every aspect of global life. It pumps billions in 
       remittances into poor villages, fuels Western populism, 
       powers Silicon Valley, sustains American health care, and 
       brings one hundred languages to the Des Moines public 
       schools. One in four children in the United States is an 
       immigrant or the child of one. With no issue in American 
       life so polarizing, DeParle expertly weaves between the 
       personal and panoramic perspectives. Reunited with their 
       children after years apart, Rosalie and her husband 
       struggle to be parents, as their children try to find 
       their place in a place they don't know. Ordinary and 
       extraordinary at once, their journey is a twenty-first-
       century classic, rendered in gripping detail"--|cProvided
