Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. demographics are changing. It is increasingly getting minority, in particular Latino. They are actually 53 million estimated Latinos in the U.S., making the 2nd most country in the world, only after Mexico with most Latinos. In addition the U.S. is the 5th country in the world where Spanish is spoken. For every Anglo that dies one is born, for every Latino that dies, 8 are born. Due to this increasing population, changing demographic, and exchanging influence is why I decided to write this book. This fictional book is about a group of Latino friends that through choice or circumstance were either born or raised in the U.S. in a bi-cultural and bi-lingual environment. They come together now on vacation to get together and enjoy each other's company and relax. While they vacation the reader has an opportunity to look into their pasts while the characters reminisce on their life journey with its ups and downs while pursuing their Sueño Americano/American dream. Through their reflections we get a close view to what they have been through, both good and bad to arrive where they are today.The present amount of Latinos in America today and their influence in this country through music, art, food, language, and culture has since before the pilgrims and particularly now impacted this country in ways that sometimes many don't realize. Through the personal stories of the characters, the book will hopefully increase non-Latinos understanding of the differences and similarities as they pursue the American dream. How family, culture, religion, their faith, hopes, and dreams add to the evolving immigrant created country called America. This book will provide a unique perspective of people's lives as they tried to live them as best they could regardless of their circumstances. It will provide a look back on the characters as they reflect on their lives as they gather to vacation with their friends. It sets out to tell a series of stories that follow a group of friends as they gather for vacation. Each of them reflects on their life journey to where they are today. How they started and where and through the difficulties that some of them went through as they blended into the American way of life, either from other Latin American countries or as 2nd generation Latinos. How some went through more difficult circumstances then others, but all were appreciative of having made it this far, to where they were today as they gathered with their vacation Latino friends. This book provides a blend of unique stories, perspectives, and journeys that have the common denominator of being Latino in the U.S. while pursuing the American Dream. This book is intended for anyone that wants to enjoy a series of stories of friends as they reflect on their life journeys. It might be increasingly interesting for the growing Latino-American population in this country who might relate to one or some of the stories through either personal or by someone they know of that went through a similar experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the border of the United States and Mexico and delightfully told, this extraordinary story of survival is about Vitto Puentelarra and his struggle in search of the American Dream. But is it true that the American Dream really exists? Or it may be found somewhere else? But then, aren't we all searching for the same. The US is a country of immigrants, but maybe is not for everyone, including us, its citizens, as many have learned in their own search to make a reality of their dreams. Originally written in Spanish and then translated by the author, this work is a novel based on the experiences of many immigrants. Wonderfully written while combining the drama and humor of the characters, De Murguia tells the story of Vittorio Puentelarra, a middle class immigrant from Mexico, and what meant for him and many others the elusive reality of the American Dream.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A National Bestseller! What does an undocumented immigrant look like? What kind of family must she come from? How could she get into this country? What is the true price she must pay to remain in the United States? JULISSA ARCE knows firsthand that the most common, preconceived answers to those questions are sometimes far too simple-and often just plain wrong. On the surface, Arce's story reads like a how-to manual for achieving the American dream: growing up in an apartment on the outskirts of San Antonio, she worked tirelessly, achieved academic excellence, and landed a coveted job on Wall Street, complete with a six-figure salary. The level of professional and financial success that she achieved was the very definition of the American dream. But in this brave new memoir, Arce digs deep to reveal the physical, financial, and emotional costs of the stunning secret that she, like many other high-achieving, successful individuals in the United States, had been forced to keep not only from her bosses, but even from her closest friends. From the time she was brought to this country by her hardworking parents as a child, Arce-the scholarship winner, the honors college graduate, the young woman who climbed the ladder to become a vice president at Goldman Sachs-had secretly lived as an undocumented immigrant. In this surprising, at times heart-wrenching, but always inspirational personal story of struggle, grief, and ultimate redemption, Arce takes readers deep into the little-understood world of a generation of undocumented immigrants in the United States today- people who live next door, sit in your classrooms, work in the same office, and may very well be your boss. By opening up about the story of her successes, her heartbreaks, and her long-fought journey to emerge from the shadows and become an American citizen, Arce shows us the true cost of achieving the American dream-from the perspective of a woman who had to scale unseen and unimaginable walls to get there.
