Publisher's Synopsis
"RETURNS TO AN IMMIGRANT'S PAST" is a story based on true events that narrates the difficult and emotional journey of an immigrant in his struggle for a better future for his family. The book is divided into several stages, or "seasons," which describe the challenges and sacrifices of a man who, driven by love and responsibility, is forced to leave his loved ones behind to seek better opportunities in the United States.
He works in various jobs, from operating a sod farm to working in a restaurant, demonstrating a work ethic and discipline that allow him to earn a living while keeping alive the hope of reuniting with his family. As the story progresses, his long journeys back home are recounted, crossing the United States, Mexico, and Guatemala, marked by risks, setbacks, and moments of solidarity that teach him valuable lessons about perseverance, financial management, and the importance of staying connected to his roots. Furthermore, the story highlights the emotional effects of family separation, loneliness, and personal sacrifice, but also the value of effort and determination. The book also reflects on how consumerism and a lack of financial control can lead to a deviation from the original purpose of improving one's quality of life. Through his experiences, the protagonist reaffirms that success is not measured solely in economic terms, but in the ability to build a solid future without forgetting love, unity, and the importance of family.
