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.

Wow, Amazing story beautifully told.

I kept remembering what I was like when I was 9 or 10 years old and blown away by what Javier endured and accomplished, the caring and love (and treachery) of total strangers and the tender, poetic writing. This is the book that I will give to my family and friends at Christmas.

Celebrated as the "greatest descriptive writer of her time" (Rebecca West), Jan Morris has been dazzling fans since she burst on the scene with her on-the-spot reportage of the first ascent of Everest in 1953. Now, the beloved 92-year-old, author of classics such as Venice and Trieste, embarks on an entirely new literary enterprise - a collection of daily diaries, penned over the course of a single year.

In her mesmerizing fourth work of fiction, Sue Monk Kidd takes an audacious approach to history and brings her acclaimed narrative gifts to imagine the story of a young woman named Ana. Raised in a wealthy family with ties to the ruler of Galilee, she is rebellious and ambitious, with a brilliant mind and a daring spirit. She engages in furtive scholarly pursuits and writes narratives about neglected and silenced women. Ana is expected to marry an older widower, a prospect that horrifies her. An encounter with 18-year-old Jesus changes everything.

The book of longings
Revisado: 10-31-20
A beautifully written, well researched, fascinating book. A book of longings, heroism, personal strength, history, love, travel, all wrapped up in The fictional story of Anna, the wife of Jesus.

In the eerie days after the storm, he traveled the flooded streets in a secondhand canoe, passing on supplies and rescuing those he could. A week later, on September 6, 2005, Zeitoun abruptly disappeared.

Where does Zeitoun rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Ranks right up at the top. Excellent book, well written and well read. It's an amazing story. I highly recommend this book. Very informative re Katrina and it's aftermath as well as the experience of Muslims in America and how they are treated.
