Patricia Engel and Edwidge Danticat on Thursday for a virtual discussion about Engle s new novel,
Infinite Country, hosted by Books & Books. The story follows Talia as she desperately searches for a way back to her family after being incarcerated following an impulsive act of violence. Her father is waiting for her in Bogotá with a ticket to the U.S., where the rest of her family resides.
Infinite Country is a tale of family, love, and sacrifice and explores what it means to straddle two worlds and what challenges are faced by those living undocumented in the U.S.

Patrick Fernandes, left, the executive managing director of the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, and Tammy Pahel, right, the co-general manager and vice president of spa operations, have helped lead changes at the property to keep themselves, colleagues and guests safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. Carillon is one of the Miami Beach businesses that have signed up for the Race to Trace contact tracing program.
Throughout the pandemic, the North Beach Bandshell s outdoor stage hosted a wide range of musicians, but performers looked out to a pretty empty audience area because the events were streamed online.
On Dec. 18, though, singer Ceci Leon was among the performers at the North Beach Bandshell who sang for an audience of 150 masked people at a tribute concert for Clark “Doug” Burris, the late founder and director of Miami Beach Senior High School’s Rock Ensemble.
