R.E.A.D. - American Dirt

Featured podcast from December 2020: Join Drs. Susan Bacon and Michael Hegeman discuss the December book choice in our R.E.A.D. (Race, Education, Awareness and Dialogue) program. The outstanding book is American Dirt by author Jeanine Cummins, about the ordeal of a Mexican woman who had to leave behind her life and escape as an undocumented immigrant to the United States with her son. The story reveals the incredible hardships of an immigrant being chased by the Mexican drug cartels and the obstacles of traveling with only the clothes on their backs. It's a must read!
