Publisher's summary

Thomas Bertram is an American living in San Salvador with his fiancée Cecilia. They own a popular neighborhood restaurant and plan to wed soon. Thomas's dream is to obtain a resident visa for Cecilia and return to the United States.

Domingo Jimenez and his wife, Blanca, own a small repair shop across the street. Domingo's dream is to move to America so that his four-year-old daughter Nancy can grow up speaking English and have a good education and a better life than he and Blanca had. When armed gang members invade their neighborhood to demand "protection" money and threaten them with death if they don't pay, Thomas and Domingo's dreams for the future take on a new perspective. They decide to flee the country with their families through Guatemala and Mexico to seek asylum in the United States.

But their journey is more challenging than expected, and they face a myriad of difficulties and must overcome multiple obstacles that put not only their dreams but also their lives at risk.

A Story from the Other Side

In America, you usually get one side of the story of immigration,never the frustration and heartache that can be associated with it. You get that side of the story in this book. I genuinely learned about how hard it is to emigrate to my country. I can understand why many people take the long trek to the U.S. Southern border. Not my usually read but am excellent introduction to a different genre.
