Book excerpt: Why do people leave their countries of origin? An economic opportunity, a better education for themselves or children, a result of war, crime, government repression, political strife, or a myriad of other reasons that require a drastic move? Seen as a beacon of hope, often that move is to the United States. The author has interviewed fourteen people who have come from various countries whose departure culminated as a result of one of the pressures that immigrants confront. The exodus from their countries of origin will bring you deeply into their harrowing journeys that eventually lead to America.
