I forgot

I forget to mention that Enrique's Journey is a true account of his journey.

The Answer is No

Enriqe's Journey not only tells the story of his travel to the US/Mexico border but also the relationship between him and his mother.
The trip north is a life and death challenge. On foot or on the tops of trains he took his chances. He didn't know who was more dangerous, the gangs, police forces, yes forces, or some of the citizens. And he "met" them all.
Enrique and his sister grew up with relatives. Their father wasn't really in the picture. Their Mother didn't even say good by to 5 year old Enrique. He grew up wondering if his mother loved him.
I won't spoil the ending. It is a complicated decision she made.
Is money more important than love?

Enrique's Journey


A newly published book, Enrique's Journey, is about a 17 year old who is trying to get to his mother in the United States. His home is in Honduras. Traveling thru Mexico as an illegal immigrant is at best a terrible experience. Enrique hasn't seen his mother for 11 years. She left her children with family members so she could get to America to earn money to send home. It is the story of poverty, sadness, and the desperation of a mother to provide. The question is has she done the right thing?
