This discussion of “In the Country We Love” is part of a series. Check our events page for more dates.

In the Country We Love is a moving, heartbreaking story of one woman’s extraordinary resilience in the face of the nightmarish struggles of undocumented residents in this country. There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US, many of whom have citizen children, whose lives here are just as precarious, and whose stories haven’t been told. Written with bestselling author Michelle Burford, this memoir is a tale of personal triumph that also casts a much-needed light on the fears that haunt the daily existence of families likes the author’s and on a system that fails them over and over.

The One Book One Community Program is part of a new diversity initiative sponsored by the Needham Free Public Library, called the “Needham Free Public Forum” whose motto is “Exploring diversity to inspire unity.” This book discussion will be facilitated by Stan Hitron, Board Treasurer–Library Foundation of Needham.

No registration needed-all are welcome.
