honestly walked around my job telling people to join me in this book journey. Sanctuary is a dystopian novel that takes place in a very near future 2032. Valí is a 16 year old immigrant living in a xenophobic America. She finds herself having to get herself and her little 8 year old brother Ernie to California, the only place where immigrants are safe. Her journey will have you at the edge of your seat.
I found myself sobbing 11pm when I reached one particular chapter, once you read it you’ll know. But you will be tearing and gasping since the beginning. I highly recommend this book, it’s a quick read I found myself soaring through the chapters. Happy reading!
