At the age of nine, Javier Zamora traversed a harrowing three-thousand-mile journey from El Salvador to the United States. Traveling alone amidst a group of strangers and a “coyote,” his two-week trip turns into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family. A memoir as gripping as it is moving, “Solito” provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. “Solito” is Javier Zamora’s story, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home.
