American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins

We will meet at the Panera Bread in Clermont on SR 50 at 6:30 PM. We'll start with introductions and ordering food, then begin the discussion of this month's book, American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins. Before we leave everyone in attendance will have a chance to vote on the next book to join our line-up, and suggestions will be taken for the book following that one.

Summary:
"Lydia lives in Acapulco. She has a son, Luca, the love of her life, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. And while cracks are beginning to show in Acapulco because of the cartels, Lydia’s life is, by and large, fairly comfortable. But after her husband’s tell-all profile of the newest drug lord is published, none of their lives will ever be the same.
Forced to flee, Lydia and Luca find themselves joining the countless people trying to reach the United States. Lydia soon sees that everyone is running from something. But what exactly are they running to?"
