Homeless to Oxford

Homeless to Oxford is the remarkable true story of how Ernie Honya, as a newly arrived immigrant from Ghana, went from being homeless in rural Texas to studying at the University of Oxford in England. Ernie arrived in the United States with one hundred dollars in his pocket and found himself traveling through rural America relying on the benevolence of people he met along the way. Ernie went from town to town, sleeping in the homes of strangers, until he finally ended up in a homeless shelter in Paris, Texas. Through a strong work ethic and an unquenchable spirit of determination, Ernie found a path out of homelessness and successfully navigated his way through the American education system, which ultimately paved his way to the University of Oxford in England. Weaving in memories of his African childhood, Homeless to Oxford is an improbable and captivating story of a young man's unyielding resolve to survive and thrive in the face of adversity.
