Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
An undocumented immigrants journey from a New York City homeless shelter to the top of his Princeton classDanel Padilla Peralta has lived the American dream. As a boy, he came here legally with his family. Together they left Santo Domingo behind, but life in New York City was harder than they imagined. Their visas lapsed, and Danels father returned home. But Danels courageous mother was determined to make a better life for her bright sons.Without papers, she faced tremendous obstacles. While Danel was only in grade school, the family joined the ranks of the citys homeless. Danel, his mother, and brother lived in a downtown shelter where Danels only refuge was the meager library. There he met Jeff, a young volunteer from a wealthy family. Jeff was immediately struck by Danels passion for books and learning. With Jeffs help, Danel was accepted on scholarship to Collegiate, the oldest private school in the country.There, Danel thrived. Throughout his youth, Danel navigated these two worlds: the rough streets of East Harlem, where he lived with his brother and his mother and tried to make friends, and the ultraelite halls of a Manhattan private school, where he could immerse himself in a world of books and where he soon rose to the top of his class.From Collegiate, Danel went to Princeton, where he thrived, and where he made the momentous decision to come out as an undocumented student in a Wall Street Journal profile a few months before he gave the salutatorians traditional address in Latin at his commencement.Undocumented is a classic story of the triumph of the human spirit. It also is the perfect cri de coeur for the debate on comprehensive immigration reform.Praise for UndocumentedDanel Padilla Peraltas story is as compulsively readable as a novel, an allAmerican tall tale that just happens to be true. From homeless shelter to Princeton, Oxford, and Stanford, through the grace not only of his own hard work but his mothers discipline and care, he documents the America we should still aspire to be.
