Sonia Nazario Shares Enrique's Journey
Journalist Sonia Nazario, author of “Enrique’s Journey,” Meredith’s 2011 Summer Reading Program (SRP) selection, visited Meredith on August 29, 2011.
“Enrique’s Journey,” the story of a young Honduran boy’s perilous quest to locate his mother in the United States, began as a Pulitzer Prize-winning story for the Los Angeles Times. During her lecture at Meredith, Nazario discussed what inspired her to explore immigration, and her own history as someone “with migration in [her] blood, growing up as an Argentine in Kansas.”
During a conversation with her housecleaner, Nazario discovered what she called “an increasingly global phenomenon” of mothers leaving their children in order to work in another country. more
