Event Details

Bestselling author and poet Javier Zamora will share his three-thousand-mile journey at the age of nine from a small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border, a trip he expects to last two short weeks. 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. Solito is Javier Zamora’s story of bravery, hope and finding family, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home. REGISTER HERE.
