A Journey of Survival, Sacrifice, and the Search for Belonging
A True Story of Hardship and Hope
Set against the backdrop of the late 1920s and early 1930s, Two for You, One for Me is a deeply moving memoir that chronicles the real-life journey of a mother and her son through the harsh realities of poverty, homelessness, and the fight for survival along the Arizona-Mexico border. Written by Anthony Hernandez, this book brings to life the struggles of a young boy within an unstable world shaped by his mother's choices, the kindness of strangers, and his own resilience.

Told in the first person, the book immerses the reader in a deeply personal account of survival against the odds.

A Tribute to Family and Love - Despite the hardships, Two for You, One for Me is ultimately a story about love-love between a mother and son, love from unexpected strangers, and the enduring love of family.
