In a world where the pursuit of a better life often requires crossing borders, both physical and metaphorical, Jaime Guevara’s remarkable story stands as a shining testament to the transformative power of hope, resilience, and determination.
Jaime Guevara was born in Lima, Peru, on August 3, 1968, to parents from Cajamarca, Peru. He is the youngest of four siblings, and his family’s legacy of academic excellence and passion for health and biological sciences would later shape his path. Growing up, Jaime excelled in soccer and academics, graduating as valedictorian from high school. Driven by a desire to build a better life for his loved ones, he courageously immigrated to the United States with a permanent resident Visa. After seven years of waiting for immigration approval, Jaime was finally able to bring his wife and children to the U.S., where they built a life grounded in strong Christian faith and a commitment to family and helping others. Jaime’s passions include soccer, tennis, and watching romantic movies with his wife, as well as enjoying Peruvian cuisine, especially lucuma ice cream. Above all, he prioritizes his faith and love for his Heavenly Father.

We’re all rooting for a father-daughter duo. It’s outstanding that the author graduated alongside his daughter; it’s extremely inspiring.

Being a father, I am aware of how many sacrifices a father makes for a family, and this one captures that nicely.
This guy is in LOVE with his wife, and the reuniting moment is the best part. Oh, such a sweet family it is.
Living miles apart is the most downy feeling, especially from the entire family. This book beautifully outlines the emotional rollercoaster. It’s a definite read.
My favorite line in the book is, “But we remained resilient in our pursuit of bringing our loved ones together.” Ah, it’s just so emotional.
My memory is really bad, unlike Jaime’s. I’m glad his good memorization skills worked for him; otherwise, science requires good memory to succeed.
