Sonorita

A recent widower facing financial hardship, finds an unlikely home in Sonorita, a vibrant Mexican-American barrio. As he navagates cultural differences and neighborhood dynamics, he uncovers secrets, rekindles old flames, and rediscovers his purpose. We are all ultimately defined by the events in our lives I'm no exception. The first defining experience in my life was contracting Bulbar Polio at eighteen months of age. My second experience was being raised in Gilbert, Arizona, during the fifties and sixties. It was an idyllic Southwest community of mid-twentieth century American. The population was around 1800 people, including those who lived outside the city limits.My wife (also a Gilbert girl) live in Marana, Arizona, a northwestern suburb of Tucson. She's also my best friend, my squeeze, doubles as my editor, and is my most ardent fan and my most vocal critique.
