An inspirational story for aspiring writers, set in a time of change. Based on a true story, you will not enjoy this if you don't like the music (and words) of the Boss. I do, and it worked well for me. It's also a parable (?) on how a country sees immigrants - and how immigrants perceive their country of adoption.
