ATLANTA (PRWEB) July 10, 2017 -- Stemming from his experience growing up in America as a son of Mexican immigrants, David Valdez’s lifelong collection of memories and personal stories are now on the printed page.
In his memoir, “Hallelujah Dave,” Valdez chronicles his journey as he searches his way through America.

“We are facing so many issues today, and one of the most prominent issues is illegal immigration from Mexico and the fate of their children” said Valdez. “I am one such child, lost as a teenager in drugs and alcohol, and I want to let children and parents know that there is hope for a better world – hope that stems from a relationship with Jesus Christ.”
