""Kenneth Zinn's Another Generation Cometh is a love note to the generations that preceded us, and those brave souls who made long journeys into the unknown in order to give their children a new life. The story told here is a feat of genealogical digging, and belongs among other brilliant works of literary excavation. I found this work to be enlightening and deeply inspiring. I look forward to Zinn's next book!"" -- Matthew Klam, Author, Sam the Cat & Other Stories and Who is Rich?
