About The Book
5000 Miles is a true story about courage, struggle, and hope. It follows Nelson Orellana’s journey from El Salvador to the United States as he searches for a better life. The road is not easy—he faces danger, hunger, fear, and moments when giving up seems like the only option. But he keeps going.
This book is about real challenges—escaping war, crossing borders, and starting from nothing. It shows what people risk to find a future for themselves and their families. It is not just a story about travel but about survival, strength, and the power of believing in something better.
