Description

Jenny Torres Sanchez is a Young Adult and Children’s Book author. The Nest talks with Jenny about a few of her books, particularly her Young Adult story We Are Not From Here, which is about the escape of unaccompanied youth from Guatemala on a train called La Bestia. She talks about where the impetus for the story came from, the research she did, and why she wrote the book. She talks about the real life Bestia, that beast of a train that takes and saves so many; about border crossings, about dire straits and about hope.

This is a podcast about family, led by two sisters and their mom. An experiment in generational nesting which is, in essence, the ways in which family holds together throughout the lives of its members, their joys, their hardships, their care, their living, breathing roots, and legacies in the making. It’s never too early or too late to add a twig to the nest and roost!
