I am an American living in Mexico City. I am a Sr. Manager at a large multi-national corporation. I have two children who are married and live in the U.S. I am currently single. I have always enjoyed writing and after my mother died, I wanted to commit to paper all the wonderful stories she told us as children about her family and our heritage. Some of my ancestors were involved in the writing of the Constitution, the Mexican Revolution and in the immigration of Europeans to this country. Their stories and the family history is what this book is about. I am currently planning my second book which will deal with being alone in a foreign country and how one copes with that.
