Books with title Stars Over Latin America

When two young men begin a journey across Latin America on the back of a rundown motorcycle called The Mighty One, they have no idea how much the voyage will change their lives. Their interactions with the locals teach Che and Alberto that their continent is home to considerable suffering and poverty and a spark of rebellion is born in Che’s mind. While they assist patients in a leper colony in Peru, both men realize that if they allow the world to change them, they can, in turn, change the world.
