About this title

Synopsis

This book is written as Cuentos, short stories, of my life growing up in small rough mining towns in Arizona and New Mexico. Although I wrote it as a humorous book it was not an enjoyable time for us growing up with with no English spoken in our homes. We were oftentimes punished for speaking in our native language, Spanish in class or even during playground times. I quickly learned that education was the key for me to enjoy a better life than my parents ever had. I instilled in my sons the value of education for them to succeed in their lives. I wrote this as short stories that will hopefully paint a complete picture of my life as it unfolded over the last seventy years.
