The inaugural One Book, One San Diego selection is a significant non-fiction book entitled "Enrique's Journey" by Sonia Nazario. Her account of a 17-year-old boy's harrowing journey to find his mother in America won two Pulitzer Prizes when it first came out as a series of articles in the Los Angeles Times. Greatly expanded with fresh research, the book vividly conveys the experience of illegal immigration from Central America. It is also a story about family and love that everyone can relate to. You can easily find a copy of "Enrique's Journey" at the San Diego Public Library and at your local bookstores. Copies are also available from online booksellers.
In the coming year, KPBS and the San Diego Public Library will present television and radio programming, workshops, lectures and discussion groups. These events will offer individuals and families the opportunity to join together for lively conversation and exchange of ideas as we bring our diverse city together through literature.
I sincerely hope that your participation in One Book, One San Diego will be a rewarding experience that brings you together with your community through literature.
Jerry Sanders
Mayor
City of San Diego
