Daniel and the author met during the summer of 2000, but it was not until two years later that Daniels extraordinary lifes journey was revealed. To Touch The Land is the true account of a foundling of Mexican descent, his struggles to escape physical and emotional abuse, his incredible crossing the border into the Western desert of the United States. To Touch The Land is a compelling story of survival of a teenager in a foreign country without knowledge of the language nor any official identity either in Mexico or the United States. Daniel exhorts us to recognize and treasure our American heritage and exposes the plight of the undocumented alien who has come to our shores by unconventional means. He asks us to look beyond the political demogoguery and see the humanity and frailty of those who ask to be woven into the great tapestry of our country and to contribute to as well as share in its greatness. He says, Its me, Daniel, your adopted son.
