I recently hosted a Question and Answer session with Raul Ramos y Sanchez, the author of America Libre, on my blog. If you missed that post, click HERE.
Below is an excerpt from my previous post:
|
AMERICA LIBRE, the first of a trilogy, is set in the near future. In this future, Latinos have grown in population but not wealth. They struggle to feed their families, obtain jobs, and maintain a sense of dignity in a harsh and unjust world. Tensions escalate when cops accidentally shoot an innocent Latina during a drug bust. A revolution eventually ensues, escalating into a Civil War. Over his wife’s protests decorated ex-Army Ranger and family man, Manolo “Mano” Suarez, decides to join the melee. While trying to bring about change, he encounters a beautiful Latina radical. Mano eventually realizes that the battle he is facing is not only in the streets but within him! Will he choose love of family and country or the beguiling and beautiful Latina and revolutionists? |
I’m sure after reading the excerpt you are dying to get your hands on this book to find out what Mano does! Well have I got GREAT news for you! I am pleased to announce that Hachette Book Group has offered to giveaway five copies right here on Latina On a Mission!

This would be a great read for my adult spanish class!
I would love to read this. I have heard of this book everywhere, and I am a Latina, so it’s great to hear about and read books by Latino authors.
I have heard so much about this book thru twitter, blogs… awesome latinas/latinos! I really want to read it not only for entertainment purposes (which I heard it does a great job at) but also to support a fellow Latino!
