A Journey of Survival, Sacrifice, and the Search for Belonging
A True Story of Hardship and Hope
Set against the backdrop of the late 1920s and early 1930s, Two for You, One for Me is a deeply moving memoir that chronicles the real-life journey of a mother and her son through the harsh realities of poverty, homelessness, and the fight for survival along the Arizona-Mexico border. Written by Anthony Hernandez, this book brings to life the struggles of a young boy within an unstable world shaped by his mother's choices, the kindness of strangers, and his own resilience.
A Story That Stays With You
This is not just a memoir-It's about the ability to endure even when the odds are stacked against you, about finding light in the darkest of places. The author shares his father's journey with raw emotion, detailing the defining moments of his childhood that shaped his future. Told in the first person, the book immerses the reader in a deeply personal account of survival against the odds.
Historical Perspective - Set in a turbulent time in American and Mexican history, the book provides a unique look into the Great Depression, immigration, and the often-overlooked struggles of marginalized communities.
Authentic and Emotional Storytelling - Written with honesty and vivid detail, the book captures both the pain and beauty of growing up with uncertainty.
A Tribute to Family and Love - Despite the hardships, Two for You, One for Me is ultimately a story about love-love between a mother and son, love from unexpected strangers, and the enduring love of family.
