Javier Zamora: "I Survived the Unsurvivable"
Description
Javier Zamora is a renowned Salvadoran poet, author and activist. When he was just 9 years old, he emigrated from El Salvador to the U.S. to reunite with his parents, who were already there. His memoir "Solito" details this harrowing solo journey away from a war-torn country and into one where home always felt far away. Zamora is the first Salvadoran author to make the New York Times bestsellers list. Jenna Bush Hager spoke to Javier about his memoir “Solito”, a recent Read with Jenna pick, and what it means to tell his story now.
