WALKABOUT (An Open Letter to my Grandson) Ricardo Suarez-Gartnerwalkabout

WALKABOUTA blend of memoir and family history, "Walkabout" is the author's legacy to his young grandson in the form of an open letter. With honesty and love, this carefully researched book describes the ups-and-downs of a highly mobile family. Located in a South American region often immersed in fratricidal violence, the story depicts conditions in ways seldom seen in history books. The narrative also glances at the conditions that drove some ancestors to migrate and that often brought misery to those uprooted against their will. Sometimes, the writer's experiences while searching for his origins became risky adventures themselves. Although the author's family is unique in many ways, the life experiences portrayed in the book will resonate with readers whose predecessors likely faced similar circumstances.
