This book—at its core —is not about immigration at all. This book is about homelessness\, not in a traditional sense\, but about the unsettled\, unmoored psychological state in which undocumented immigrants like me find ourselves. This book i s about lying and being forced to lie to get by\; about passing as an Amer ican and as a contributing citizen\; about families\, keeping them togethe r\, and having to make new ones when you can’t. This book is about what it means to not have a home."  This is from the back cover of the book\, and is written by Vargas himself.  \n \nPlease join us on December 1 a t noon via zoom to discuss this timely book about a topic that we cannot i gnore.\n\n \;\n\nThe Brown Bag Books group meets year-round\, except i n July and August. Many attendees bring their lunches\, and everyone bring s a sense of humor. Monthly sessions are always lively and enjoyable.\n\nB ooks chosen by the group for discussion are usually listed in the Order of Service and the Bulletin\, as well as on the UUCPA website.\n\n Contact: Hannah Slocum (brown-bag-books+owner@uucpa.org)\n Facilitator: Various p articipants\n Registration: Not required\n Location: Via video conferenc e or in the Fireside room\n\nJoin the email list to be notified of book se lections and for video conference details by emailing brown-bag-books+subs cribe@uucpa.org.
