A cast of diverse narrators lend their voices to telling the remarkable stories of modern American immigrants. This collection, published by EPIC MAGAZINE, served as the inspiration for the Apple TV+ series, “Little America.” The stories are funny, tragic, inspirational, and entirely original, just like the people who tell them. Disappointingly, the audio production is somewhat uneven, as several narrators are mismatched with their stories and do not consistently maintain accents or characterizations. Many voices sound similar enough that differences in country of origin, age, and personality are lost. However, narrators Vikas Adam and Ramon de Ocampo more than make up the difference with excellent performances that skillfully channel the unique personalities that make this collection so powerful.

"Given how much we loved the TV mini-series version of Little America, it's only natural that we're jumping at the chance to cry even more with this new audiobook collecting the true stories that inspired the Apple Original Series...Stock up on tissues for this must-listen audiobook." - Paste
From the pages of Epic magazine come the true stories that Inspired the Apple Original Series.
This program includes a foreword written and read by Kumail Nanjiani
Nearly everyone in America came from somewhere else. This is a fundamental part of the American idea-an identity and place open to everyone. People arrive from all points distant, speaking a thousand languages, carrying every culture, each with their own reason for uprooting themselves to try something new.
Everyone has their own unique story. Little America is a collection of those stories, told by the people who lived them. Together, they form a wholly original, at times unexpected portrait of America's immigrants-and thereby a portrait of America itself.
This program is read by Kumail Nanjiani, Vikas Adam, Ramon de Ocampo, Je Nie Fleming, Matt Godfrey, Lamarr Gulley, Deepti Gupta, Vanessa Marroquin, Natalie Naudus, and Natasha Soudek.
