Book to be discussed:
We Are Not From Here by Jenny Torres Sanchez
A ripped-from-the-headlines novel of desperation, escape, and
survival across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Pulga, Chico, and Pequeña have no false illusions about the town
they’ve grown up in and the dangers that surround them. Though
their families—both biological and found—create a warm
community for them, threats lurk around every corner. And when
those threats become all too real, the three teens know they have
no choice but to run: for the border, for the hope of freedom, and
for their very lives.
In this powerful story inspired by real—and current—events, the
plight at our southern border is brought to painful, poignant life.
This title is available as both an e-book and e-audiobook from
Westchester Library’s OverDrive platform, on audio from Hoopla, and there are 13 print copies in the Westchester Library System.
