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 MurguÃa 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.
