DESCRIPTION:LUCKY BOY is the moving novel about two unforgettable women in Northern 
 California: an undocumented Mexican woman, Soli Castro-Valdez, and an 
 Indian‐American woman, Kavya Reddy, who longs to become a mother. Both 
 are bound together by their love for the same child. Sekaran's vivid story 
 – begins in Mexico, follows young Soli's perilous journey to El Norte, 
 then to Berkeley where she manages to find work, and then, suddenly, 
 trapped inside a nightmarish detention center. Ripped from her child, Soli 
 must muster her daring and creativity to find a way out.\n\nIt’s also a 
 story about California right now – who does the work and who has the 
 power. With the regime of Donald Trump, and the increasing demonization of 
 immigrants, Lucky Boy is a story that must be heard - a window into the 
 hearts and lives of millions of people who live in the shadows, risking 
 their very existence to survive.\n\nA native of California, Shanthi was 
 inspired by her own upbringing as a child of immigrants, by the news 
 stories she was hearing about undocumented mothers losing their children 
 when they were put into detention centers, and by living in Berkeley, a 
 place that for all of its progressiveness is also incredibly privileged.\n
