THE AUTHOR
Steven V. Roberts is the author of My Fathers' Houses and coauthor of the New York Times bestseller From This Day Forward. He has worked as a journalist for more than forty years, including in positions at U.S. News & World Report and at the New York Times, where he was a bureau chief in Los Angeles and Athens, and as a correspondent to Congress and the White House. He is also a well-known commentator on many Washington-based television shows and appears regularly as a political analyst on the ABC radio network and National Public Radio. Since 1997 he has been the Shapiro Professor of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University.
Roberts is a frequent speaker for The Washington Campus who discusses the important role that the media plays in U.S. policy-making, and the ways in which the changing format of the media - including the 24 hour news cycle, the fall of high quality newspapers, and the rise of blogs and Internet news - are influencing the way in which policy-makers and constituents retrieve information and make decisions.

13 Families and the Lives They Made in America...
Inspired by a passage in President Obama's inaugural address, a speech acknowledging "that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness," New York Times bestselling author, Steven V. Roberts, weaves together the stories of 13 families from countries such as Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Mexico, and China to offer a contemporary look at immigration in the United States and how immigrants continue to contribute to the fabric and future of the country.
