The Immigrant Has Arrived

FINALLY!!! "The Immigrant" is published and available online at iuniverse.com; barnes and noble.com; and amazon.com. It's been an experience like waiting for a baby to be born that is two weeks overdue, but because of some glitches in the publishing process, "The Immigrant" has been far more than two weeks overdue.
"the Immigrant" is my favorite book, if I may be allowed to pick one charlesclarknovels as the best. It is a story of an eleven-year-old boy who is orphaned when his parents are killed in an accident during the crossing process. What happens to a boy this age who is in a strange country, has no family, does not know the language, is totally helpless?
Someone asked me about the book the other day. I tried to explain why I enjoyed writing it and why I would choose it as my favorite. I couldn't exactlly say why. I just said: "It brings tears to your eyes." I'm sure I was expected to say something about the current immigration issues that are a popular media topic. One thing readers might like is the mystery angle that I threw in to pique reader-interest--a subplot that includes a drug cartel activity in northern Mexico.
I hope you enjoy reading "The Immigrant" as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you should look for the book online please enter under title "The Immigrant" by Charles Clark. Another book with the same title was published in 2007 by a different author.

What an absolutely awesome book! Now,"The Immigrant" is my favorite, eventhough "Trails to Dos Encinos" remains dear to my heart too.
Thanks Dr. Clark!!
