Synopsis

The son of Mexican-born parents, Oscar 'The Golden Boy' De La Hoya has had an astonishing career. From boxing to business, from the recording industry to the charitable accomplishments of his foundation, his success is a testament to what one man can achieve. But who is this man who has changed the lives of so many? Who has imprinted a positive mark upon the sport of boxing, for which many have all but given up hope? Who has become a symbol of success for an entire community, without many heroes to call their own? "American Son" answers these questions.

Media Reviews
De La Hoya's memoir reads fast and well. It reveals a man who is capable of far deeper sincerity than the Golden Boy who graces the podium at press conferences. -- CBS Sports
This memoir, his first literary glance in the rearview mirror, is a revealing and solid read. -- Los Angeles Times
An inspiring and motivating title ..., an entertaining description of the ins and outs of a boxing career, and a fascinating insight into a Latino hero. -- Criticas Magazine
