Book Club - September

Please join our book club! You do not need to read or finish the book to join us. Our September book will be The Undocumented Americans by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio. Location: West Sunnyvale, CA. The exact address will be shared privately with confirmed attendees. About the book: In New York, we meet the undocumented workers who were recruited into the federally funded Ground Zero cleanup after 9/11. In Miami, we enter the ubiquitous botanicas, which offer medicinal herbs and potions to those whose status blocks them from any other healthcare options. In Flint, Michigan, we learn of demands for state ID in order to receive life-saving clean water. In Connecticut, Cornejo Villavicencio, childless by choice, finds family in two teenage girls whose father is in sanctuary. And through it all we see the author grappling with the biggest questions of love, duty, family, and survival.
