Book Synopsis Gonzalez and Daughter Trucking Co. by : María Amparo Escandón
Download or read book Gonzalez and Daughter Trucking Co. written by María Amparo Escandón and published by Crown. This book was released on 2005-04-19 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of L.A. Weather comes “a whimsical, humorous, and passionate mystery that explores the love and hurt of a father and daughter on the run” (Jorge Ramos, News Anchor for Univision). “1,001 nights in a Mexicali women’s prison . . . González and Daughter Trucking Co. is about our compulsion to make events into stories and stories into bridges of understanding.”—John Sayles, Screenwriter and Director Serving a sentence in a prison in Mexico, Libertad González finds a clever way to pass the time with the weekly Library Club, reading to her fellow inmates from whatever books she can find in the prison’s meager supply. The story that emerges, though, has nothing to do with the words printed on the pages. She tells of a former literature professor and fugitive of the Mexican government who reinvents himself as a trucker in the United States. There he falls in love with a wild woman with whom he shares his truck and his life—that is until Joaquín González unexpectedly finds himself alone on the road with a baby girl and González & Daughter Trucking Co. is born. Joaquín and his daughter make the cab of an 18-wheeler their home, sharing everything—adventures, books, truck-stop chow, and memories of the girl’s mother—until one day the girl grows into a woman, and a chance encounter with one man causes her to rebel against another. With her stories, Libertad enthralls a group of female prisoners every bit as eccentric as the tales she tells. In González and Daughter Trucking Co., bestselling author María Amparo Escandón seamlessly blends together these elements into one compelling and unexpected conclusion that will have you cheering for Libertad and filled with joy.
Download or read book Steps of Grace written by Doug Gonzales and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steps of Grace is the story of former Evangelical Protestant Pastor Doug Gonzales, whose faith journey led him from the most extreme and militant anti-Catholic views in American society today to becoming one of the Church's newest champions. Doug's conversion, like that of St. Paul, did not come from any desire on his part for something more than what he already believed was true. Instead, it was purely an initiative of divine grace. While Steps of Grace describes the theological and intellectual wrestling common to conversion stories, it does so in the most uncommon of ways. Besides witnessing to what are perhaps some of the most remarkable mystical experiences in a modern conversion story, Doug shares with the reader his own struggles, fears, pain, and loss. With brutal honesty, Steps of Grace is one of the most human and emotionally raw of conversion stories. Steps of Grace describes the beauty and truth of the Catholic faith with such clarity that those on their own journey of conversion will be led to ask the same question Doug did, "Why didn't I see it before?" Cradle Catholics may ask this same question as the story helps them to see and experience the wonder and beauty of their faith in a fresh way. More than anything else, Steps of Grace is about following and fulfilling our deepest of human longings-finding the Presence of God. This makes Steps of Grace perhaps less a conversion story and more a love story that illustrates how a person's love and need for the Presence of God led him to the last place he thought he would ever find it-the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. This is not a walk in the park, but a walk of faith, led by grace, step-by-step. Doug Gonzales is a former Church of the Nazarene Pastor whose testimony of conversion to Catholicism has moved and challenged audiences across the world. A graduate of The Divinity School at Duke University, Doug spent nearly ten years as an Evangelical pastor and prison chaplain until his miraculous and amazing conversion to the Roman Catholic Church. Besides being a guest twice on EWTN's The Journey Home show, Doug has traveled the U.S., Canada, and Latin America sharing his conversion story to large conferences, seminarians, parishes, and even small prayer groups captivating audiences about the wonder and grace he has found in the Catholic faith. Doug's story continues to impact those who hear it in a way that few other modern conversion stories can do. Doug is also the proud father of three wonderful children.
Book Synopsis A Cuban Refugee's Journey to the American Dream by : Gerardo M. González
Download or read book A Cuban Refugee's Journey to the American Dream written by Gerardo M. González and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A touching memoir recounting the journey of a young Cuban immigrant to the US who went on to become a professor and university dean. In February 1962, three years into Fidel Castro’s rule of their Cuban homeland, the González family—an auto mechanic, his wife, and two young children—landed in Miami with a few personal possessions and two bottles of Cuban rum. As his parents struggled to find work, eleven-year-old Gerardo struggled to fit in at school, where a teacher intimidated him and school authorities placed him on a vocational track. Inspired by a close friend, Gerardo decided to go to college. He not only graduated but, with hard work and determination, placed himself on a path through higher education that brought him to a deanship at the Indiana University School of Education. In this deeply moving memoir, González recounts his remarkable personal and professional journey. The memoir begins with Gerardo’s childhood in Cuba and recounts the family’s emigration to the United States and struggles to find work and assimilate, and González’s upward track through higher education. It demonstrates the transformative power that access to education can have on one person’s life. Gerardo’s journey came full circle when he returned to Cuba fifty years after he left, no longer the scared, disheartened refugee but rather proud, educated, and determined to speak out against those who wished to silence others. It includes treasured photographs and documents from González’s life in Cuba and the US. His is the story of one immigrant attaining the American Dream, told at a time when the fate of millions of refugees throughout the world, and Hispanics in the United States, especially his fellow Cubans, has never been more uncertain. “Author and educator Gerardo M. González brilliantly illustrates the joys and struggles of the refugee experience, and the inarguable role of education as an open door to opportunity. This is a delightful read, and one that will inspire you to achieve greatness regardless of the odds.” —Dr. Eduardo J. Padrón, President, Miami Dade College “There can be no more persuasive testimony to the power of intelligence, commitment, and inspiration than Gerardo M. González’s memoir. The contribution of immigrants to America’s prosperity and national achievements is undeniably impressive. Yet, this transformational story of challenge and achievement, while individually exceptional, is nonetheless emblematic of the experience of countless immigrants who have made America better than it could otherwise have been. No finer antidote to the simplistic sloganeering of the immigration debate exists.” —John V. Lombardi, President Emeritus, University of Florida, and author of How Universities Work

Book Synopsis Tejano Journey, 1770-1850 by : Gerald E. Poyo
Download or read book Tejano Journey, 1770-1850 written by Gerald E. Poyo and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century before the arrival of Stephen F. Austin's colonists, Spanish settlers from Mexico were putting down roots in Texas. From San Antonio de Bexar and La Bahia (Goliad) northeastward to Los Adaes and later Nacogdoches, they formed communities that evolved their own distinct "Tejano" identity. In Tejano Journey, 1770-1850, Gerald Poyo and other noted borderlands historians track the changes and continuities within Tejano communities during the years in which Texas passed from Spain to Mexico to the Republic of Texas and finally to the United States. The authors show how a complex process of accommodation and resistance—marked at different periods by Tejano insurrections, efforts to work within the political and legal systems, and isolation from the mainstream—characterized these years of changing sovereignty. While interest in Spanish and Mexican borderlands history has grown tremendously in recent years, the story has never been fully told from the Tejano perspective. This book complements and continues the history begun in Tejano Origins in Eighteenth-Century San Antonio, which Gerald E. Poyo edited with Gilberto M. Hinojosa.

Book Synopsis The Chemistry of Fire by : Laurence Gonzales
Download or read book The Chemistry of Fire written by Laurence Gonzales and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gonzales (Flight 232), a former National Geographic feature writer, proves himself a chronicler par excellence of nature—including of the human variety—in this excellent essay collection. The psychological nuance and vivid detail throughout will dazzle readers." —Publishers Weekly starred review, July 2020 In 1989, Laurence Gonzales was a young writer with his first book of essays, The Still Point, just published by the University of Arkansas Press. Imagine his surprise, one winter day, to receive a letter from none other than Kurt Vonnegut. “The excellence of your writing and the depth of your reporting saddened me, in a way,” Vonnegut wrote, “reminding me yet again what a tiny voice facts and reason have in this era of wrap-around, mega-decibel rock-and-roll.” Several books, many articles, and a growing list of awards later, Gonzales -- known for taking us to enthralling extremes – is still writing with excellence and depth. In this latest collection, we go from the top of Mount Washington and ”the worst weather in the world,” to 12,000 feet beneath the ocean, where a Naval Intelligence Officer discovers the Titanic using the government’s own spy equipment. We experience night assaults with the 82nd Airborne Division, the dynamiting of the 100-foot snowpack on Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, a trip to the International Space Station, the crash of an airliner to the bottom of the Everglades, and more. The University of Arkansas Press is proud to bring these stories to a new era, stories that, as with all of Gonzales’s work, “fairly sing with a voice all their own.” (Chicago Sun-Times)
