Meredith College’s Summer Reading Program selection for 2011 is “Enrique’s Journey” by Sonia Nazario. The book, which began as a Pulitzer Prize-winning story for the Los Angeles Times and was later expanded into a book, presents a Honduran boy’s perilous quest to locate his mother in the United States.

The Summer Reading Program was created to enhance the academic climate on campus. Each year, a book is chosen to fit Meredith’s annual campus-wide theme, which for 2011-12 is “Uncommon Choices.”

Meredith welcomed Sonia Nazario to campus on August 29, 2011, as part of the Presidential Lecture Series at Meredith College.
