{"product_id":"solito-a-memoir","title":"Solito","description":"\u003cp\u003eTrip. My parents started using that word about a year ago—“one day, you’ll take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure.”  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJavier 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents’ arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier Zamora’s story, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReader Fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recommended for readers who value powerful memoirs that illuminate migration, family, resilience, and the experiences of children navigating extraordinary circumstances.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Carry It:\u003c\/strong\u003e We carry \u003cem\u003eSolito\u003c\/em\u003e because it offers a firsthand account of a child's journey from El Salvador to the United States.
