SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Social Justice Book Group: Solito
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThis month we will discuss Solito by Javier Zamora.\n\n You 
 can request this title from our catalog. \n\nAbout the book:\n\nTrip. My 
 parents started using that word about a year ago—“one day\, you’ll 
 take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure.”  Javier Zamora’s 
 adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El 
 Salvador\, through Guatemala and Mexico\, and across the U.S. border. He 
 will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a 
 mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling 
 alone amid a group of strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to 
 safety\, Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks. At nine years 
 old\, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents’ arms\, 
 snuggling in bed between them\, and living under the same roof again. He 
 cannot foresee the perilous boat trips\, relentless desert treks\, pointed 
 guns\, arrests and deceptions that await him\; nor can he know that those 
 two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside fellow 
 migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family. A memoir 
 as gripping as it is moving\, Solito provides an immediate and intimate 
 account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey\, but also of 
 the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. 
 Solito is Javier Zamora’s story\, but it’s also the story of millions 
 of others who had no choice but to leave home.\n\n\nWe strive to learn more 
 about the world outside our own bubbles. We read both nonfiction and 
 fiction on timely topics and in our discussions try to challenge our own 
 assumptions without judging one another.\n\n\nJoin us on Zoom! \n\n**THIS
