Sarah speaks with Leah Lax, discussing her profound book, Not From Here: The Song of America, which began as an opera, evolving into a powerful collection of stories that echo the ongoing quest for identity and belonging in America. Born a grandchild of refugees, Leah’s narrative explores the often-unheard voices of mainstream America in this diverse nation of immigrants.

Through her book, Leah brings forth the collective experiences of those who have sought freedom and a new beginning, reminding us that, in a way, we are all immigrants.

Sarah and Leah delve into the heart of these stories, discussing themes of heritage, identity, and the American Dream. Leah's personal journey, filled with curiosity and a deep desire to understand her roots, will resonate with anyone who has ever wondered about their own place in the tapestry of America.
