Hoping for a Home After El Salvador (Leaving My Homeland: After the Journey)

Summary

Threatened by gangs and everyday violence, Benito's family flees El Salvador to an uncertain but safer life in Mexico. They are later joined by Auntie Lara, who lost a son to gang violence and joined a migrant caravan heading to the United States. The story is interwoven with details on how violence in countries whose governments no longer function make a safe life impossible, continuing the cycle of refugees heading to Central and North America.
