About the Author
Frank and his lovely wife, Magali, make the daily commute to Tampa, Florida, looking forward to returning to their home in Zephyrhills. There, they escape city noises and enjoy the sights and sounds of birds, raccoons, rabbits, and the occasional alligator…a far cry from The Big Apple.
Frank’s parents were born in Puerto Rico, as was Magali, and they have each smelled the foul odor of prejudice. His personal experiences have laid the groundwork for this novel.
