The 8th annual Faculty Common Reader Preview Luncheon, introduces the novel, how it can be incorporated into the classroom and the events being held in conjunction with this year’s program. 

This year’s common reader selection is the national bestseller “Enrique’s Journey” by Pulitzer Prize-winner Sonia Nazario.

“Enrique’s Journey” recounts the unforgettable quest of a Honduran boy looking for his mother 11 years after she is forced to leave her starving family to find work in the United States, according to the book description on Amazon.com.

Braving unimaginable peril, often clinging to the sides and tops of freight trains, Enrique travels through hostile worlds full of thugs, bandits and corrupt cops. But he pushes forward, relying on his wit, courage, hope, and the kindness of strangers, the description concludes.
