Fighting Through The Hurdles of My Life: A Memoir

Fighting Through The Hurdles of My Life captures Roberto Alfaro's inspiring story of survival, heartbreak, redemption, and ultimately beating the odds in a way that no one expected. From growing up poor in one of the worst drug- and gang-infested neighborhoods of the South Bronx during the '60s and '70s to battling with bouts of bullying at school, domestic violence at home, and going from this extremely shy kid to a troubled young man who suddenly found himself going down the wrong path. Read how this amazing young man somehow managed to turn his life around, and ultimately went on to become an inspiration to so many by sharing his remarkable journey. His tenacity in pushing himself beyond the expectations of others makes him a true example of someone who never stopped believing in himself and his personal mantra: No dream is too big to dream!
