About the Author

It is really no wonder this historical novel was written by a life-long community, labor, and political organizer, a man who was never meant to see the day of deliverance. The author was born to a world of omnipresent poverty, life-threatening violence, mind-numbing drugs, and an undisciplined passion for instant self-gratification. He would have been lost like so many before him were it not for his own curiosity, something a badly administrated public education system almost destroyed.
Leoncio and other characters in Zoilo’s novel are the history of a people striving against seemingly insurmountable odds to find themselves. Leoncio is an example of success housed in the aspiration to comprehend.
