| Publisher Description: After his father, Juan, is killed on a tragic car accident, Pablo Gonzalez is on a mission to complete his father's dream to have all his children graduate from college. However, Pablo's youngest brother, Jose, becomes a member of a radical group promoting independence for Puerto Rico, and his sister, Ana, falls in love with Armando Martinez, leader of a Brooklyn neighborhood gang. Pablo fears Jose will get involve in a violent act and be sent to prison for life, and that Ana would not graduate from high school. Can Pablo keep Ana, Jose, and his other two siblings on the right path to fulfill his father's dream? What Pablo doesn't know is that the future political status of Puerto Rico rests on him achieving his father's dream. This is a family saga in which three brothers from a ghetto in Brooklyn confronting gang members and facing extreme poverty go to Harvard, Yale, and MIT, respectively, and then to Puerto Rico to fight for the political future of the island. Each with an opposing political view. The question is who will win? The commonwealth status, the statehood, or the Independence. |
