Five Stars! Excellent service, fast shipping, and the book was in perfect condition. Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I recommend this book to everyone! I couldn't put it down.Enrique's Journey is a moving, true story about a boy from Central America who travels from Honduras, through Guatemala and Mexico, to get to the United States to find his mother.The journey is so rough, as he encounters gangs, bandits, robbers, and drug-crazed evil people along the way. He travels by foot, bus, train--really any way he can get north with the little money he has. He meets bad and good along the way. There are also kind-hearted, caring strangers who help the migrants.Enrique gets caught by the police and immigration authorities in Mexico numerous times and they send him back to Honduras, but he doesn't give up and tries again and again to reach his mother in the US.This is a real account of one of the thousands of refugee children from Central America who make the perilous trip through Mexico to reach safety. They are fleeing violence, drugs, extortion, hunger, forced gang membership, rape, poverty, loneliness, and depression. And negativity that no child should experience!As I have been saying about people in the USA, unless you are of Native American descent, all of our ancestors came from another country trying to find a better life in America! How are these human beings any different?This story is unforgettable and the award-winning photographs in the book bring it to life.Why did I buy this? Here's the background:In December 2015 after I met a 16-year old boy from Guatemala who traveled to Central NY alone, I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about how such a young person could make such a long journey and risk his life for freedom.
