Read by Timothy Andrés Pabon.

Emilio believes he is living the American Dream: his parents, who emigrated from Guatemala to California, sacrifice daily to ensure it. And his life seems relatively normal until he turns sixteen. Like most teenagers, Emilio is determined to get his driver's license, however, his mother discourages it. When Emilio asks why, his parents reveal a shocking secret: he is undocumented. Emilio adjusts to his new normal. He attends UC Berkeley. He falls in love. All is going well, until Emilio gets into a car accident and, without a driver's license or any documentation, the policeman on the scene reports him to Immigration and Customs Enforcement . Emilio is deported to Guatemala. But he is determined to get back to California, the only home he has ever known. It is an epic journey that takes him across thousands of miles, meeting thieves and corrupt law enforcement but also kind strangers and new friends.
