American Dirt

In American Dirt, a #1 New York Times Bestseller and Oprah's Book Club pick, Lydia Quixano Pérez navigates life in Acapulco, where her bookstore provides comfort amid the looming danger of drug cartels. Her world is upended when her husband publishes a profile on a charming yet dangerous cartel leader, forcing Lydia and her young son, Luca, to flee for their lives. As they embark on a perilous journey toward the United States, they encounter a diverse cast of fellow migrants, each with their own stories of loss and hope. Narrated by Yareli Arizmendi, this poignant tale explores themes of sacrifice and resilience in the face of unimaginable challenges.
