HTML:<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER • READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON <i>TODAY</i> • A young poet tells the unforgettable story of his harrowing migration from El Salvador to the United States at the age of nine in this moving, page-turning memoir hailed as “the mythic journey of our era” (Sandra Cisneros)<br /></b><br /> <b>“A new landmark in the literature of migration, and in nonfiction writ large.”—Francisco Cantú, author of <i>The Line Becomes a River<br /></i></b><br /> <i>Trip. My parents started using that word about a year ago—“one day, you’ll take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure.”</i>  <br />  <br /> Javier Zamora’s <i>adventure</i> 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.<br />  <br /> At 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.<br />  <br /> A memoir as gripping as it is moving, <i>Solito</i> 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. <i>Solito</i> is Javier Zamora’s story, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home.
