Unlocking the Chain of Poverty: In Pursuit of the American Dream, is a book of guts, survival, and the will to persevere against all odds. It chronicled a Filipino immigrant's exploits in the US who reluctantly immigrated to the US with his wife and five of their six children at a time of declining global economy in the 1990's. It actually captured how a family of seven with children ages 4 to 16 started a life in the US with very minimal assistance from immediate family members but friends and yet succeeded in realizing the American Dream... the hard way! It echoed Hillary Clinton's book, "It Takes a Village: and Other Lessons Children Teach," theme that applied to all kinds of successes and failures on the outcome of the child. The book, published in 1996, captured Hillary's vision for the children of America focusing on the impact individuals and groups outside the family, have, for better or for worse, on a child's well-being, and advocates of society meets all of a child's needs. It also showcased how necessity played a vital role in their lives prompting them to work harder and chased every opportunity that came their way in order to make a living and bring food to the table. The book also exemplified how love and understanding evolved within the family that had to weather the effects of the ailing economy to be able to survive. All it needed to succeed, ultimately, was hard work, strong commitment, having a very supportive wife, strong belief in God, and the will to move on and pursue one's goals.
