Immigration stories in much of the media often leave out the real experiences of migrant families and the people they cross paths with in places like San Antonio and South Texas. In the book "Traveling Mercies: Encounters with Asylum Seekers," members of the San Antonio Interfaith Welcome Coalition share their enriching experiences with asylum seekers, refugees and at-risk migrants.

The event opens with brief readings from volunteers sharing their encounters with asylum seekers of all ages, followed by a conversation led by TPR's David Martin Davies, including Mary Grace Ketner, editor of "Traveling Mercies," and San Antonio-based immigration attorney Johnathan Ryan.
