Undocumented by Dan-el Padilla Peralta
A Dominican Boy's Odyssey from a Homeless Shelter to the Ivy League
A memoir that traces a young immigrant's journey from a precarious childhood in the Dominican Republic and years of homelessness and fear in New York City to academic success at elite institutions; it recounts how a passion for classical literature and determined mentors helped him navigate the challenges of being undocumented, confront legal limbo and the threat of deportation, and ultimately reflect on identity, belonging, and the meaning of citizenship.
