I am looking forward to seeing many of you on Wednesday at Historic Hotel Bethlehem for our Christmas meeting. We will enjoy festive music and an inspirational presentation by the Rev. Hopeton Clennon, our president-elect, and the pastor of Central Moravian Church. Our thanks to Sylvia Doyle for coordinating our meal choices via email.
I will lead the next book discussion - in January of 2022. Please email me at debra.walter@desales.eduto let me know your interest in reading and discussing this book: The Line Becomes a River.
About the author and the book - Francisco Cantú:
For Francisco Cantú, the border is in the blood; his mother, a park ranger and daughter of a Mexican immigrant, raised him in the scrublands of the Southwest. Driven to understand the hard realities of the landscape he loves, Cantú joins the Border Patrol. He and his partners learn to track other humans under blistering sun and through frigid nights. They haul in the dead and deliver to detention those they find alive. Plagued by a growing awareness of his complicity in a dehumanizing enterprise, he abandons the Patrol for civilian life. But when an immigrant friend travels to Mexico to visit his dying mother and does not return, Cantú discovers that the border has migrated with him, and now he must know the full extent of the violence it wreaks, on both sides of the line.
