Memoirs of a Puerto Rican Son - Paperback

by Noel Ruiz (Author)

HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THE STORIES YOUR FAMILY TOLD YOU OVER THE YEARS THAT SEEM IMPROBABLE AND UNBELIEVABLE?

Noel Ruiz's stories about family and life experiences are sure to capture your attention. His recollections are both funny and startling, yet always touching. The narrative begins with his great-grandmothers in Puerto Rico and traces his family's journey in the United States over five generations.

In this engaging narrative, you will discover:

A grandmother who heroically jumped off her horse midstream to save her children from drowning.

And a father who delivered a powerful sermon to passengers as an airplane engine caught fire in mid-flight.

As a practicing Christian, faith has played an important role in his family's life. Many of his characters triumph over their circumstances with God's help, reminding us that God is in control.
