In this astonishing true story, award-winning journalist Sonia Nazario recounts the unforgettable odyssey of a five year-old Honduran boy who braves unimaginable hardship and peril to reach his mother in the United States.
With gritty determination and a deep longing to be by his mother’s side, Enrique travels through hostile, unknown worlds. Each step of the way through Mexico, he and other migrants, many of them children, are hunted like animals. Enrique pushes forward using his wit, courage, and hope–and the kindness of strangers. It is an epic journey, one thousands of immigrant children make each year to find their mothers in the United States.
Based on the Los Angeles Times newspaper series that won two Pulitzer Prizes, one for feature writing and another for feature photography, Enrique’s Journey is the timeless story of families torn apart, the yearning to be together again, and a boy who will risk his life to find the mother he loves.
A compelling, true account of a young boy’s immigrant journey to be reunited with his mother
