Can you believe it’s already December? That means our next #NACACreads book chat is just a month away.

On Jan. 9, we’ll discuss My (Underground) American Dream with author Julissa Arce.

An estimated 65,000 undocumented immigrants graduate from US high schools each year. In 2001, Arce was one of those students.

She will participate in the hour-long Twitter discussion, and there will be plenty of opportunities for you to share your own thoughts about the book and discuss strategies to help undocumented youth access higher education.

Already started reading? Help shape the discussion. Submit questions ahead of time via Twitter using the #NACACreads hashtag.

Learn more about the book and watch Arce share her story.

Admitted writer/editor Mary Stegmeir welcomes additional comments and story ideas at mstegmeir@nacacnet.org.
