Book: Gonzales &
Daughter Trucking Co. A Road Novel with Literary License
by Maria Amparo Escandon
Synopsis: "Serving a sentence in a prison in Mexico, Libertad GonzÁlez finds a clever way to pass the time with the weekly Library Club, reading to her fellow inmates from whatever books she can find in the prison's meager supply. The story that emerges, though, has nothing to do with the words printed on the pages. She tells of a former literature professor and fugitive of the Mexican government who reinvents himself as a trucker in the United States. There he falls in love with a wild woman with whom he shares his truck and his life — that is until Joaquín González unexpectedly finds himself alone on the road with a baby girl and González & Daughter Trucking Co. is born. Joaquín and his daughter make the cab of an 18-wheeler their home, sharing everything — adventures, books, truck-stop chow, and memories of the girl's mother — until one day the girl grows into a woman, and a chance encounter with one man causes her to rebel against another."

Synopsis: "Orphaned at birth, Eliza Sommers is raised in the British colony of Valparaíso, Chile, by the well-intentioned Victorian spinster Miss Rose and her more rigid brother Jeremy.

By 1849, Chileans of every stripe have fallen prey to feverish dreams of wealth. Joaquín takes off for San Francisco to seek his fortune, and Eliza, pregnant with his child, decides to follow him."

Topic: The Power of Protein: Is your breakfast killing your energy?
Learn about the importance of consuming a healthy breakfast vs. skipping breakfast all together. Our bodies wake up "DRAINED" every morning and our cells plead for a refill or a reload so-to-speak. A good breakfast should restore the energy depleted in the last 24 hours and a balanced protein-based breakfast will deliver and supply the body with vital nutrients and energy without escalating blood sugar and insulin levels.
