The Road to Delano by John DeSimone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A true story about events roughly 50 years ago, surrounding the teachings of Cesar Chavez. It is told through the eyes of two men that come from different worlds. Jack Duncan and Adrian Sanchez couldn’t be more different, but in the end, they find out that what matters most is the true hidden depths within each of us.
This book really brought out the plight of the migrant worker (As well as the farmer that employs them) and puts it against the labor strikes and disputes of the 1930’s when violence was common in the disputes. I liked the historical aspect of the book as well as the human side. The author was able to bring out his own experiences in this world having lived through much of it and it makes the book seem more real and more relatable.
