Don't be afraid, gringo

by Elvia Alvarado

This book is a typical case of Robin Hood's "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." A Honduran woman tells the story of her personal struggle to survive, as well as the story of the rest of the people in Honduras, a place where it seemed like no one WANTED you to survive.
