Washington, USA – Anthony Hernández announces the release of Two for You, One for Me, a heartfelt memoir sharing the remarkable life story of his father. This moving account explores themes of survival, family, and the challenges of cultural assimilation in 20th-century America.
Set against the backdrop of border towns in Arizona and Mexico during the late 1920s, Two for You, One for Me follows the journey of a young boy navigating poverty, abandonment, and the trials of a vagabond upbringing. With the help of strangers' kindness and moments of connection with extended family, he rebuilds his life and instills courage.
The story spans decades, chronicling his time in the Civilian Conservation Corps, U.S. Army service during World War II, and his eventual life as a husband, father, and professional in post-war Seattle.
While reminiscing about his father's struggles, Anthony says, "Over time, my father's childhood realities shaped his strength of character and drive to survive, and he became a survivor in the truest sense." He further added, "My respect, appreciation, and understanding of him grew considerably as a result of his sharing personal life experiences with me."
Anthony Hernández combines his father's memories and years of research to deliver a detailed and heartfelt account of his father's experiences. This powerful memoir sheds light on how adversity shapes character and celebrates the pursuit of a better life.
Two for You, One for Me is now available on Amazon.
