In this powerful prequel to The Fitful Sleep of Immigrants, Orlando Ortega-Medina adeptly captures the hardships of the immigrant experience and the strength of the human spirit to survive and even excel despite the odds.
In the turbulent 1990s, Emerald Road follows Isaac Perez's escape from El Salvador's Civil War. With his loyal canine companion, Ahbhu, they navigate perilous landscapes from San Salvador to the US border. Amid family conflict, first love, and tragic loss, Isaac's journey becomes a test of resilience. Facing danger and deprivation, the unbreakable bond between Isaac and Ahbhu emerges as a beacon of hope.
Against the backdrop of war and migration, Emerald Road explores the connection between humans and their pets, the loss of innocence, and the enduring power of hope. Can Isaac carve a new beginning in the land of promise, or will the shadows of El Salvador pursue him? This gripping tale invites readers into a world where love and survival intertwine, challenging the indomitable spirit in the face of betrayal and tragedy.
