Synopsis

He left to seek a future. Can he escape his past to find his fortune?

El Salvador, 1979. Young Toño has grand ambitions. But as the second son of a poor farmer, he sees little hope of taking over the family business. And when he catches his secret girlfriend cavorting with her ex at the carnival, he decides the path to riches lies north of the border.

Arriving in LA single and desperate for money, Toño works under the table while cohabitating with his fellow immigrants, hoping to earn enough to help his family and attract the right woman. But when his illegal status always results in rejection, the stubborn migrant becomes frustrated at being caught between two worlds.

Can Toño break through social barriers and ingrained prejudice to create the future he’d envisioned?

The Education of a Wetback is a candid, fictionalized account of one man’s true journey into adulthood. If you like insightful Hispanic American literature, engaging characters, and elements of magical realism, then you’ll love Marcos Antonio Hernandez’s exhilarating quest for freedom.
