This month, our Book Club is also traveling to Colombia through fiction, diving into a popular new novel about the very first country in which Opportunity International gave loans to clients 50 years ago!
Experience the Andes mountains, the city of Bogotá, and the daily lives of one family navigating hopes, dreams, and borders.
How does one family straddle Colombian and American soil? Engel, a dual citizen and the daughter of Colombian immigrants, explores this question through the story of one family. Its five members each get a voice and their stories illuminate Colombia’s recent political history.

Conway artist Christopher R. Serra has a long interest in the contrast between different materials and exploiting their characteristics. He knows that the coarseness of painted and oxidized steel combined with the roughness of poured concrete can be beautiful in some way.
He will show his work, alongside that of fellow Conway artist John F. Galt, in a new exhibit, “Metal in Bloom,” May 6-30, at the Oxbow Gallery in Northampton.
