This month at Books & Brews, we are discussing Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen by José Antonio Vargas.

Part memoir, part social commentary, the book tells Vargas’ story of coming to the United States from the Philippines as a child, discovering he was undocumented as a teenager and living for years with the uncertainty, fear and questions that come with that reality.

It is deeply personal, thoughtful and often heartbreaking, but it is also a book about identity, belonging, family and what it means to call a place home.

Join us for another good night of conversation, cocktails and community with our friends from the Lorain Public Library.
