The Cartographers: a Novel by Peng
Shepherd
When her estranged father is found dead with a seemingly worthless map hidden in his desk, cartographer Nell Young soon discovers the map is extremely valuable—and that a mysterious collector will stop at nothing to destroy it and anyone who gets in the way.
Unbelievable fantasy
story, but the maps were very interesting.

My Side of the River: a Memoir by
Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez
Exploring separation, generational trauma, and the toll of the
American dream, the author recounts what happened when, at 15, her parents were
forced back to Mexico, leaving her and her brother to fend for themselves as
underage children affected by broken immigration laws.
It's a quick read with
fascinating characters. Well written.
