Slow Descent and Other Little Stories

Slow Descent - He came to west Texas for a little vacation. He saw her begging on the Juarez bridge. He had a plan ... but she had one too. Hungry - He had lived on the streets from a very young age, and each day he struggled to stay alive for another day... suddenly, everything changed in a most unforeseeable way. Breaking Out - She had lived in her husband's shadow from the day they met... then she found a most unusual way to break free. What life changing event does each of these characters encounter? A collection of ten poetic, dynamic and colorful little stories, each included in both English and Spanish. The writer's life experiences in central Texas in the 1960s and 1970s, not that far from the Texas-Mexico border, influenced the theme and setting of most of the stories. Many of them take place in Texas and the southwest, although others could happen anywhere. You will enjoy this collection because you will find yourself transplanted into each story, walking with these many diverse characters, jolted by the next unexpected twist and each unpredictable ending.
