Synopsis "en mi viejo san juan (in English)"

The stories in this book are based on the author's life. Josephine Ruelas has woven tales about her early childhood experiences and California during the 1920s. Her colorful life began against the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties and the adventures of the bootlegging era. We are entertained with her numerous experiences from childhood well into her golden years. We travel back through the pages of history to a time when the Pickwick Stages ran. We meet a member of the Breen family, a descendant of the infamous Donner Party, and a man who boasted about the best sauce in town, Worcestershire sauce. Josephine pays tribute to her many caring teachers, who opened the doors to an incredible world of knowledge. She recalls her involvement in the San Juan pageants and how she met Leo Carrillo, a well-known actor of that era. Josephine opens her heart and soul when she shares her thoughts about her first love and about the trials and turbulences that she endured in abiding by the values and customs that her parents imposed upon her. She offers her candid opinion on how life should be lived and enjoyed, especially in the golden years. Then she entertains us with her humorous outlook on what to expect when one must think about funerals. This is a book written from the heart by a person who loved life.
