"The Roots of the Guava Tree: Growing Up Jewish and Arab in Colombia" is the debut contemporary memoir from Sonia Daccarett. A compelling tale of a young woman struggling to understand her identity as the daughter of a Jewish mother and a Christian Palestinian father, coming of age in Colombia as increasing violence and the instability of the 1980s engulf her country.

Sonia will be joined in conversation by Elizabeth Katkin. Liz is a lawyer and mother of two, and is a former partner at a large international law firm. A graduate of Yale University, Columbia Law School, and the School of International and Public Affairs. She is the author of "Conceivability: What I Learned Exploring the Frontiers of Fertility."

Boulder Bookstore will have Sonia's book available for purchase.
