Under the Same Flag Gg Elizabeth Mata

This is about my journey to the United States for the hopes of a better life. It puts you in the same shoes as the immigrant crossing the border with a realistic feel of what truly happens and how it feels to be an illegal alien in a foreign country. It's a story many can relate to as many struggles to make the American Dream a reality by surpassing poverty, rape, heartache, discrimination, domestic violence and drugs on the streets. It's a story of a young immigrant girl that became a single mother at a very young age, yet with no support overcame the statistics and stigmas that labeled her to become a failure. Through faith and personal will she took her tragedies, overcame them and became a successful business owner. This book teaches that we all have the capacity to overcome our obstacles through faith, will power, forgiveness, and love and no matter where you come from, we all have the same opportunities under the same flag.
