In her debut book "Out of Status", Jenjen Furer traces her journey from her native Philippines to the United States as a twenty year old woman determined to fulfill her dreams. She chronicles her struggles and triumphs with adjustment, love, money, family, and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. A true page-turner, this uniquely fast-moving autobiography will have the reader laughing, crying, and ultimately understanding why the American Dream remains alive and well in the hearts and minds of people around the world. Jenjen Furer was born in the Philippines, the third child of six, and the only girl. She earned full scholarships from 5th grade through college. Her life during these years consisted of two things: school and home. At the age of 19 she graduated college at the top of her class, and set about looking for a job. None were to be found. At 20 years old, she left home for the first time and embarked on a trip that would forever change her life and the lives of her parents and brothers. She went to the United States. "Out of Status" tells a story of the American Dream through the struggles, hopes, and tragedies shared by Jen and her family. Theirs is a journey shared by tens of millions of Americans who have uprooted their lives, and immigrated to America with the hope of building a better future than they were able to find in their native countries. Such a journey is truly the adventure of a lifetime, but unlike in the movies this adventure does not offer the promise of a happy ending. The only guarantee in the life of an immigrant is that the experience will be challenging, the outcome will be uncertain, and it may take an entire lifetime to feel like you are home again.
