Start the year off right with a lively boo k club! Our first book of the year is Olga Dies Dreaming by Xochi tl Gonzalez.

\n

It's 2017\, and \;Olga \;and her brother\, Pe dro "Prieto" Acevedo\, are boldfaced names in their hometown of New York. Prieto is a popular congressman representing their gentrifying Latinx neig hborhood in Brooklyn while \;Olga \;is the tony wedding planner fo r Manhattan's power brokers. Despite their alluring public lives\, behind closed doors things are far less rosy. Olga \;and Prieto's mother\, Bl anca\, a Young Lord turned radical\, abandoned her children to advance a m ilitant political cause\, leaving them to be raised by their grandmother. Now\, with the winds of hurricane season\, Blanca has come barreling back into their lives. Set against the backdrop of New York City in the months surrounding the most devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico's history\, is a story that examines political corruption\, familial strife and the very n otion of the American \;dream \;-- all while asking what it really means to weather a storm.
