Book Discussion: "The Death of Josseline:
Immigration Stories from the Arizona Borderlands" by Margaret Regan
"There may be no better way to understand the muddle that is U.S. immigration policy than by reading these portraits of people who cross the border in hopes of a better life. . . . The Death of Josseline is an excellent way to understand-on a human level-the ebb and flow of human labor across political boundaries." -Ted Robbins, Southwest Correspondent, National Public Radio
The discussion will take place in the Church Library. The book may be purchased at Beacon Press www.beacon.org
