Owens, Bill

America is the best country in the world. In Azores we'd go to the movies and America would seem like a dream. We came here with fifty dollars in our pocket and worked twelve hours a day, six days a week to save money to buy this dry-cleaning business. America is better than we thought. We have everything we ever wanted, from the series "Working”
