The family heads north to find a home where they can keep their Mayan traditions alive and live in peace. Pellegrino has been active in the Sanctuary Movement for ten years, working to provide safe havens to refugees from around the world.

Mary Karr
Lit (HarperCollins, $25.99)
Karr’s third memoir follows her bestselling The Liars’ Club and Cherry, picking up the story of her life with an account of her marriage, motherhood, alcoholism, and recovery. This volume takes her from the brink of suicide through institutionalization and on to a miraculous normality, achieved with the help of writing and religious faith. Karr describes her difficult transformation with her signature relentless self-scrutiny and dark humor.
