Catalina

by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio

Chronicling a year in the life of a college student, Catalina is a coming-of-age story that shows what it’s like to be undocumented in the United States. The slim but insightful book uses a stream-of-conscious writing style to portray what life looks like through the eyes of our title character. Witty, smart, vulnerable, and honest, Catalina is a book that delivers on the promise of the author’s first novel.
