About the Book

A former undocumented immigrant and current American citizen documents his experiences chasing the American Dream through the gig economy years as a rideshare driver in Chicago. By turns heartwarming and hilarious, this book is a valuable reminder of the values we all share. A dollar from every book sold will be donated to RAICES, the Refugee and Immigrant Center For Education and Legal Services, or to the Ascend Educational Fund.

Review :
"On stage, Nestor Gomez tells stories with such energy and personality that you might not notice just how well-written they are. But Your Driver Has Arrived proves that even without Nestor's entertaining performances, the stories themselves are just damn good. A single story might contain a well-crafted mix of humor, insight, tears, pain and then, in all likelihood, humor again. What a treat to be able to sit and savor them." — Jay Shefsky, producer and reporter, WTTW-TV, PBS in Chicago "Vibrant, empathetic, and observant. Nestor Gomez has given us a generous look into the world of rideshare drivers and their encounters with passengers, police, and themselves, told with his trademark energy and good humor." — Juan Martinez, author of Best Worst American "Nestor Gomez—a favorite on "The Moth" spoken-word circuit—applies his storytelling skills to his experience piloting his ride-share car through the streets of Chicago. Along with Nestor, we meet a cast of characters worthy of Studs Terkel—maddening, rude, kind, vomiting, and sometimes forgetting to tip. Readers along for the ride will give Nestor his well-deserved five-star rating." — Amy Dickinson, "Ask Amy" columnist and author of The Mighty Queens of Freeville "Driving in Chicago is an adventure in the best of times. Driving in Chicago as an immigrant and a gig economy driver goes far beyond adventure. Nestor's stories put you behind the wheel and immerse you in the experience of finding your place in a new city while navigating the mythology of the American Dream." — Jenn White, public radio host
