"Solito" cuenta la historia de la migración de tres mil millas de Javier a la edad de nueve años desde El Salvador a los Estados Unidos. Viajando solo con un grupo de desconocidos y un coyote, su viaje de dos semanas se convierte en dos meses que cambian su vida, durante los cuales sus compañeros de viaje se vuelven más como una familia inesperada. Una autobiografía tan apasionante como emotiva, "Solito" no solo nos ofrece un recuento íntimo e inmediato de un viaje sinuoso y casi imposible, sino la milagrosa bondad y el amor que se entrega en los momentos más inesperados. ¡No se pierda esta oportunidad de escuchar a Javier!

"Solito" recounts Javier’s harrowing three-thousand-mile migration at the age of nine from El Salvador to the United States. Traveling alone with a group of strangers and a coyote, his two-week trip turns into two life-altering months, during which his travel companions become more like an unexpected family. A memoir as gripping as it is moving, it provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Don't miss out on the chance to hear first-hand from Javier!
