In An Unlikely Journey: Waking Up from My American Dream, Julian Castro—2012 DNC keynote speaker, former San Antonio mayor, and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development—tells his remarkable and inspiring life story.

Castro's story not only affirms the American dream, but also resonates with millions, who in an age of political cynicism and hardening hearts are searching for a new hero. No matter one's politics, this book is the transcendent story of a resilient family and the unlikely journey of an emerging national icon.
