Hot summer days bring out that carefree fun, just like a caramel ribbon crunch Frappuccino.

It's icy smooth with the layers of caramel and whipped cream, all with a crunchy caramel sugar topping.

This is CBS. I'm the World. I'm John Batchel, having a conversation with the author, the literary author, Roya Hakakian. She has a new book. It says it's a story both of her life and the life of other immigrants around her in these last decades, entitled A Beginner's Guide to America for the Immigrant and the Curious.
