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.

Fantastic Story
Revisado: 08-08-24
Beautiful, heart breaking and a story that could change the American dialogue about migration if we listen with our hearts wide open.
Can't wait to read more from the exquisite writer!

Kathleen Hanna’s band Bikini Kill embodied the punk scene of the 90s, and today her personal yet feminist lyrics on anthems like “Rebel Girl” and “Double Dare Ya” are more powerful than ever. But where did this transformative voice come from? In Rebel Girl, Hanna’s raw and insightful new memoir, she takes us from her tumultuous childhood to her formative college years and her first shows. As Hanna makes clear, being in a punk “girl band” in those years was not a simple or safe prospect.

A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass on New Zealand’s South Island, cutting off the town of Thorndike and leaving a sizable farm abandoned. The disaster presents an opportunity for Birnam Wood, an undeclared, unregulated, sometimes-criminal, sometimes-philanthropic guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. For years, the group has struggled to break even. To occupy the farm at Thorndike would mean a shot at solvency at last. But the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine also has an interest in the place.

Loved Most Of It, Ending😥
Revisado: 03-18-23
I was living it, caught up in the plot. Could not stop listening. Down to last chapter I was riveted. And then the last chaper came and went and I felt pretty disappointed.
Need to revisit and process, because I was pretty devastated at the end. I guess I'm pathetic tree hugger who was routing for a little bit bigger glimmer of hope at end.

In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heartbreaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.

Taking place three years after The Bean Trees, Taylor is now dating a musician named Jax and has officially adopted Turtle. But when a lawyer for the Cherokee Nation begins to investigate the adoption, their new life together begins to crumble. Depicting the clash between fierce family love and tribal law, poverty and means, abandonment and belonging, Pigs in Heaven is a morally wrenching, gently humorous work of fiction that speaks equally to the head and to the heart.

Essential Reading for Adoptees & Their Families!
Revisado: 03-01-21
I love this story!
Wish I had read it 25 years ago, or 40 years ago if it had been written and available when I was young and struggling to define my identity as a brown kid with a single white adoptive mother.
Absolutely gorgeous story about adoption.

Lessons from the 20th Century
Revisado: 07-09-20
Somehow our cultural collective memory forgets fascism and tyrannical dictators of the past and many in 2020 are running again headlong into the abyss of fear and violence brought on by authoritarian regime.
This book is a beautiful story that brings clarity and light to dark periods of the 20th Century in Spain and Chile.
Smells, tastes and vistas illustrated by the words of Isabel Allende are a pleasure and take us from youth to old age with love and intimacy.

From one of Britain's most celebrated writers of color, Girl, Woman, Other is a magnificent portrayal of the intersections of identity and a moving and hopeful story of an interconnected group of black British women. Winner of the 2019 Booker Prize and short-listed for the Gordon Burn Prize, Girl, Woman, Other paints a vivid portrait of the state of post-Brexit Britain, as well as looking back to the legacy of Britain's colonial history in Africa and the Caribbean.

So many gorgeous layers of identity and womanhood
Revisado: 05-05-20
Absolutely loved this novel. A gorgeous exploration of women and their complex identities. Intersectionality illustrated by interwoven stories throughout 100+ years of British history.
Some interesting twists, and dives into intergenerational experiences of multiculturalism.
A perspective I have not yet come across and resonated deeply with me as a biracial genX adoptee.
