Publisher's Synopsis
"Poverty takes something from you that is more than tangible material goods. It takes the dream of "something more" and replaces it with the desperate need to satisfy a basic hunger and to be thankful for that food however meagre and however scarce. It takes away the hope of an education and the dream of potentiality.Hunger sucks dry the marrow of the bones of hope. "Surviving in San Pedro Sula is a street-level account of the life of Denis Amaya Paz, a child born into poverty growing up in what is internationally referred to as "The Murder Capital of the World" and "The World's Most Violent City outside of a war zone". Written with compassion and love, Denis' story unfolds the heart of what it means to find yourself in the often turbulent turns of the river of life. An honest account showing the far-reaching effects of even the smallest kindness.Surviving in San Pedro Sula -A True Story personalises the often faceless statistics of a lawless, poverty-stricken corrupt nation.
