American Familia is a raw, inspirational memoir that proves the American Dream is alive and well, if you’re willing to work for it. Part storytelling, part rallying cry, this book delivers a vision of hope for discounted youth that they, too, can transcend their environment and situation and achieve the American Dream.

Told as a conversation between a father and his two sons, American Familia is David’s story of growing up in rural poverty in Puerto Rico and urban poverty in the United States, detailing hopeful and transformative life-lessons along the way. This is also his family’s story—one of faith, grit and empowerment.

David’s story provides guidance on how to overcome challenges in the face of great pressure and gives direction on how to embrace opportunities with grit and personal responsibility.
