Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rosales House is a contemporary novel about Claire Rosales, a twenty-eight year old advertising executive in Singapore, who hails from a powerful political clan in the Philippines. Claire's orderly life in Singapore is disrupted by the death of her influential grandmother Gloria Rosales. With Gloria's demise, Claire loses her constant support and her strongest pillar especially after her broken wedding engagement. Moreover, the Rosales estate is now divided and the clan will have to rely more on Claire's uncle, Ric, a congressman, for their public face. Claire knows only too well, though, that Ric is not the charismatic family man he pretends to be. At Christmas, Claire masks her grief and goes about her duties just like everyone else in her clan. On this trip though, she sees her parents, Dino and Anna, in a new light. Dino, quiet and introverted, effectively manages Buena Vista, a vast farmland that he inherits from Gloria. Anna steps up and becomes actively involved in farm activities. Claire starts to feel hopeful, but she then discovers a family secret that shatters her sense of identity--Claire is not the daughter of Dino and Anna, but of Ric and a yet unknown woman. Claire searches for her biological mother and ultimately locates a Melanie Montero in New York. But while Melanie seems warm and welcoming, Claire feels that she will always be an outsider in Melanie's tight-knit family. The truth about Claire and her meeting Melanie cannot be revealed to the rest of the Rosales clan yet because of a threat to Ric's re-election bid, a setback that can further diminish the Rosales's social standing, which has started to erode since Gloria's death. Before this can be resolved, the clan is beset by new scandals that drives Claire to avoid the Rosales House altogether. After all she has her own neat life in Singapore and it's high time she starts her own family...away from the chaos of the Rosales House. A few years later, in yet another election season, Claire's relatives urge her to help in rebuilding the clan's reputation. This time around it is not for Ric who himself has not returned to Valle Viejo after an earlier loss, but for JM, Claire's cousin/ half-brother, who runs for a seat in congress in an attempt to restore the shattered Rosales image. On election eve, the clan spontaneously gathers at Buena Vista partly to escape the tension at the Rosales House. Claire stands under one of the sturdy trees that have survived past storms as she surveys her clan, all three generations of them. She is confident that the Rosales name, though without Ric, its supposed-pillar, will rise anew for the younger generation--just like the trees that now stand tall as though guarding Buena Vista.

Book excerpt: With Dusk (originally published in the Philippines as Po-on), F. Sionil Jose begins his five-novel Rosales Saga, which the poet and critic Ricaredo Demetillo called "the first great Filipino novels written in English." Set in the 1880s, Dusk records the exile of a tenant family from its village and the new life it attempts to make in the small town of Rosales. Here commences the epic tale of a family unwillingly thrown into the turmoil of history. But this is more than a historical novel; it is also the eternal story of man's tortured search for true faith and the larger meaning of existence. Jose has achieved a fiction of extraordinary scope and passion, a book as meaningful to Philippine literature as One Hundred Years of Solitude is to Latin American literature. "The foremost Filipino novelist in English, his novels deserve a much wider readership than the Philippines can offer."--Ian Buruma, New York Review of Books "Tolstoy himself, not to mention Italo Svevo, would envy the author of this story."--Chicago Tribune

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many observers, the 1981 election of Henry Cisneros as mayor of San Antonio, Texas, represented the culminating victory in the Chicano community's decades-long struggle for inclusion in the city's political life. Yet, nearly twenty years later, inclusion is still largely an illusion for many working-class and poor Chicanas and Chicanos, since business interests continue to set the city's political and economic priorities. In this book, Rodolfo Rosales offers the first in-depth history of the Chicano community's struggle for inclusion in the political life of San Antonio during the years 1951 to 1991, drawn from interviews with key participants as well as archival research. He focuses on the political and organizational activities of the Chicano middle class in the context of post-World War II municipal reform and how it led ultimately to independent political representation for the Chicano community. Of special interest is his extended discussion of the role of Chicana middle-class women as they gained greater political visibility in the 1980s.

"Scaletta deftly weaves worry, optimism, and determination together...The tight focus on the emotional lives of his protagonists in these connecting narratives inspires genuine feeling for each. Full of heart and hope."—Kirkus Reviews starred review Maya is worried about the fate of the world—especially the bee population—but she finds new hope when she starts to follow the career of a baseball player from the Dominican Republic named Rafael Rosales, who years before struggled to pursue his own dreams. Rafael has dreams to someday play Major League Baseball. Maya has worries, especially about the bees that are dying all over the world. Follow Rafael and Maya in a story that shifts back and forth in time and place, from Minnesota to the Dominican Republic. In their own ways, Maya and Rafael search for hope, face difficult choices, and learn a secret—the same secret—that forever changes how they see the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leapfrog depicts one summer in the life of a very poor young boy in post-revolutionary Havana in the late '50s. He has superhero fantasies, hangs around with the neighborhood kids, smokes cigarettes, tells very lame jokes. The kids fight, discuss the mysteries of religion and sex, and play games -- such as leapfrog. So vivid and so very credible, Leapfrog reads as if Rosales had simply transcribed everything that he'd heard or said for this one moving and touching book about a lost childhood.

Book excerpt: Written in elegant and precise prose, Don Vicente contains two novels in F. Sionil José's classic Rosales Saga. The saga, begun in José's novel Dusk, traces the life of one family, and that of their rural town of Rosales, from the Philippine revolution against Spain through the arrival of the Americans to, ultimately, the Marcos dictatorship. The first novel here, Tree, is told by the loving but uneasy son of a land overseer. It is the story of one young man's search for parental love and for his place in a society with rigid class structures. The tree of the title is a symbol of the hopes and dreams--too often dashed--of the Filipino people. The second novel, My Brother, My Executioner, follows the misfortunes of two brothers, one the editor of a radical magazine who is tempted by the luxury of the city, the other an activist who is prepared to confront all of his enemies, real or imagined. The critic I. R. Cruz called it "a masterly symphony" of injustice, women, sex, and suicide. Together in Don Vicente, they form the second volume of the five-novel Rosales Saga, an epic the Chicago Tribune has called "a masterpiece."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1999. Ex-con June returns to Los Angeles to bury his father, and in the process brings violence and mayhem to everyone he encounters. Low-rent gangsters fight dogs and pistols shoot quiet through potato silencers, and at the center of this sweltering California Gothic and its surreal and colorful cast of characters is the love story of Kiddy and June, two wild young people separated by circumstance and time, trying not to love each other against their better instincts. "Christopher Rosales' writing in Word is Bone is so vibrant and dirty with street-level intimacy like a lot of hip-hop: think Kendrick Lamar's "Money Trees" and Domino's "Getto Jam." These are stories from the stoops, laundromats, canals and alleyways, that show how a community weaves narrative webs to understand their own truths. So, here we go, here we go as the tune starts to bloom." -Steven Dunn, author of Potted Meat and water & power
