A story of survival and hope, Sanctuary is a gripping work of fiction with a message about xenophobia that s rooted in a scarily real world. The New York Times

It s 2032, and in this near-future America, all citizens are chipped and tracked on buses, in grocery stores, everywhere. It s almost impossible to survive as an undocumented immigrant, but that s exactly what sixteen-year-old Vali is doing. She and her family have carved out a stable, happy life in small-town Vermont, but when her mother s counterfeit chip starts malfunctioning and the Deportation Force raids their town, they are forced to flee.

Now on the run, Vali and her family are desperately trying to make it to her Tía Luna s in California, a sanctuary state that is currently being walled off from the rest of the country. But when Vali s mother is detained before their journey even begins, Vali must carry on with her younger brother across the country to make it to safety before it s too late.

In this gripping and urgent novel, co-authors Paola Mendoza and Abby Sher have crafted a narrative that is as haunting as it is hopeful in envisioning a future where everyone can find sanctuary.
