Publisher's Summary:
Today, Eder is a successful New York entrepreneur in the online media industry and CEO of a digital marketing company. However, as a kid in the mid-80s, he fled a frightening home life and wound up living for years on the streets of Medellin, Colombia. It was a dicey existence, in what was described during this era as the "most dangerous place on Earth", where international drug lords like Pablo Escobar ruled, where you could be shot for looking at the wrong guy the wrong way.
Dreaming of Hope Street is the story of how he went from living in the streets to become a successful entrepreneur. The book is in the classic coming-of-age tradition, and proves that, though life can be ugly and brutal, even the most disadvantaged can overcome the odds and find happiness, their own Hope Street. The narrative steps along and rings with authenticity; it's often sad, shocking, but ultimately uplifting and motivational.

Opened my heart, my eyes, my mind
Dreaming of Hope Street opened my heart, my eyes, my mind to aspects of life I knew of only vaguely, or not at all. It is more than a book, reading it was an intense life experience. Line by line, page by page, through the torrents and streams of Eder Holguinâs journey to Hope Street, my understanding of my own life deepened by contrast.
For his courage, self-discipline and determination at tender age â I am in awe. Survival alone would have been incredible. That he rose above the dispiriting circumstance of his birth, succeeded and thrived â without bitterness â and with an inspiring vision for the world â is inspiring for me in ways that I shall ever hold dear in my heart.
Ederâs journey now touches my journey â my path is broadened â as is âmy dreamâ.
Wonderful Story!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end.Once I started reading,I could not hardly wait to get to the finish and find out how Eder had fared.He seems to be a compassionate person and I consider my own perception of the world to have benefited a small measure from his words.Now I want to read more of them but the book is over.
If your looking for an inspirational story that draws you ...
If your looking for an inspirational story that draws you in and shows you that nothing is impossible as long as there is persistence, drive and passion - this is your book. Eder has captured a very real struggle that is geographically located in Colombia, S.A., however, it is a story that resonates across oceans - if one is feeling alone with thoughts that one does not dare speak, then this book will help show you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel - a light that is not as far as it looks.
Compelling, devastating, yet hopeful.
What an amazing experience that brought this forsaken child, this resourceful young teen, on such a journey. And instead of leaving this young man bitter and angry, instead he has great compassion for others.
Great Story
I heard about Eder through the Internet Marketing community and his work at Integrate. At first I was hoping for more of his story talking about his career but was pleased that this told an inspirational story of his upbringing and the struggles he went through to get to the U.S. This book makes any U.S. Resident really appreciate how great we have it and the opportunity available to us that people around the world would risk everything for.
