Unforeseen Dreams - Paperback

by Victor M. Aguilar (Author)

This novel was inspired by the beautiful stories as they were told to the author by his maternal grandmother, Zeferina Fontes Ortiz. These writings follow the trials and tribulations of her family as they were forced to leave their ancestral village of Urique, located at the bottom of Copper Canyon in Chihuahua, Mexico. They were driven from their home by the complex and cruel hero/villain Pancho Villa during the Mexican Revolution.

Armed with faith, perseverance, courage, and love, this story follows the Fontes family's history through their survival by assimilating the cultures of Spain, Mexico, and United States to create a life for themselves. United, they made the long treacherous journey, leaving their homeland, like so many others, seeking a better way of life by crossing the northern border into the United States, the land of the free.

This story has been waiting for over 111 years to be written, read, and enjoyed.
