The Tuesday Book Club meets on the third T uesday of every month. We discuss a wide variety of genres\, but we focus on popular fiction and nonfiction. \;
\nVienna\, 1938. \;Sam uel Adler is five years old when his father disappears during Kristallnach t&mdash\;the night his family loses everything. As her child&rsquo\;s safe ty becomes ever harder to guarantee\, Samuel&rsquo\;s mother secures a spo t for him on a Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied Austria to Engla nd. He boards alone\, carrying nothing but a change of clothes and his vio lin.
\nArizona\, 2019. \;Eight decades later\, Anita Dí\;a z and her mother board another train\, fleeing looming danger in El Salvad or and seeking refuge in the United States. But their arrival coincides wi th the new family separation policy\, and seven-year-old Anita finds herse lf alone at a camp in Nogales. She escapes her tenuous reality through her trips to Azabahar\, a magical world of the imagination. Meanwhile\, Selen a Durá\;n\, a young social worker\, enlists the help of a successful lawyer in hopes of tracking down Anita&rsquo\;s mother.
\nIntertwin ing past and present\, \;The Wind Knows My Name \;tells the tale o f these two unforgettable characters\, both in search of family and home.
