"Infinite Country" by Patricia Engel ($13)
- What it's about: "Infinite Country" starts out by focusing on Talia, who is being held at a correctional facility in Colombia after committing an act of impulsive violence. From there, the story zooms out to explore how Talia's family wound up scattered between two different countries, and it also examines the wounds Talia's father's deportation left behind.
- What Witherspoon says: "'Infinite Country' is an exceptionally powerful and illuminating story about a Colombian family torn apart by war and migration. I was so drawn to these characters and their unique journeys as they navigate their dreams."
