The Far Away Brothers: A Journey into the Heart of American Immigration

In 2007, Lauren Markham traveled to El Salvador to meet the families of three young men who had come to the United States in search of a better life. The men, Carlos, Luis, and Salvador, had all left their homes behind in search of the American dream. But the reality they found was far from what they had imagined.

Carlos, the oldest of the three, had been in the United States for over a decade. He had worked hard to establish a life for himself and his family, but he was still living in fear of being deported. Luis, the middle brother, had been in the United States for only a few years. He was desperate to find a job and make a life for himself, but he was undocumented and couldn't find legal work. Salvador, the youngest of the three, had just arrived in the United States. He was full of hope and dreams, but he was also scared and alone.

Markham's book, The Far Away Brothers, tells the story of these three men and their families. It is a story of hope and resilience, but it is also a story of the challenges and heartbreak that immigrants face.
