Dream's Journey is the second book in a three-part autobiography of Astronaut and Rocket Scientist Franklin R. Chang Daz. His first book "Los Primeros Aos" (ISBN 978-9968-47-133-6), written in Spanish, covers his early childhood and adolescence, growing up in the 1950s and 1960s in Venezuela and Costa Rica, and where he forms his dreams of space exploration. In Dream's Journey, written in English, Franklin embarks on a journey to that dream, alone, as an 18-year old immigrant, with fifty dollars in his pocket and a one-way ticket to the Land of Opportunity. With many triumphs and defeats along the way, his American journey is a story of personal struggle and perseverance that unfolds against the backdrop of the tumultuous 1970s and takes him on an extraordinary decade of adventure and discovery to the pinnacle of scientific achievement and his selection to NASA's Astronaut Corps.
