Welcome, Friends: Stories of Hope and Hospitality with Immigrants is a book shaped by open doors, shared meals, late-night conversations, and the belief that love crosses borders.
In these pages, Casa Alterna co-founder Anton Flores-Maisonet shares stories of welcoming immigrants. These stories move from the grief and waiting of detention centers and immigration courts to the everyday act of setting a table for strangers who become friends.
These are not only stories about immigration. They are stories about fear, hope, and what it means to build a more just and caring world—one guest at a time.
