Publisher's Synopsis
This is the true story of the pledge and inseparable love created between a young father and his 7-year-old son, forced to survive on their own during the 1930s Great Depression. They are legally in the U.S. and are illegally deported across the Mexico border without cause. They are forced to trek more than 1,000 miles through high mountains and low valleys to make their daily living, one town at a time. How, and will they make it back to the Arizona border after the hardships and tragedies along the way? Their plight is worth learning from, and perhaps even worth taking a little gold nugget from, as they did from each other's affection.
