From the Publisher:
Following brilliantly in the footsteps of the bestseller Rain of Gold, The Wild Steps Of Heaven is the second book in Victor Villasenor's moving saga of his own Mexican-American ancestry.
From the Inside Flap:
Hailed as "a Latino Roots" by Publishers Weekly, Rain of Gold was the story of Victor Villase-or's courageous mother, Lupe, her childhood in Mexico and her family's traumatic relocation to the United States during the Mexican Revolution. A national bestseller, this beautiful, touching true story received extraordinary acclaim, and has become a beloved classic.
The Wild Steps Of Heaven is the story of Juan Villasenor, Victor's father. Though young Juan watched the devastating effects of persecution and poverty on his once-noble Mexican family, two very special people helped him find meaning and hope in the chaos of life: his brave brother Jose who became a legendary military leader, and his courageous, spirited mother, who had a magical way of seeing the beauty in each new day.
As only he can, Victor Villasenor portrays a people who embrace life, la vida, and believe to the depths of their souls that love, family, and God will conquer all.
