My novel, A Mexican Twilight, biographically depicts the exact same plight of two immigrants of a yesteryear. The life and times of Juan and Edelia Gomez vividly encompasses three generations of a typical Mexican family who survived turbulent revolutionary times in Mexico. “Go to America, son, while you’re still young” said his father to Juanito. And so, a grueling, timeless journey to America in search of a better life and success, began. Despite daunting challenges of language, illiteracy, poverty, and incidents of racial discrimination, their story of unrelenting determination to find peace and happiness in America, is dramatically told. Together, they followed a ‘beacon of hope’ that constantly yearned for success and a better life, and never stopped believing that the dark cloud that constantly hovered over their elusive dreams would someday render its sweet reward.

Today, that same ‘beacon of hope’ lives in the hearts and minds of many immigrants who aspire to find a better life – not only in America, but all over the world. Proof of this is seen in the thousands of Mexican men and women who courageously cut a trail of woes and hardships when they left their beloved homeland in search of peace, freedom, and a better life. Juan and Edelia were two of the lucky ones.

I, Cecil Gomez, a retired Professional Accountant, a World War II veteran and author of A Mexican Twilight, am a native son of Oklahoma, born in the little town of Sapulpa, and the 2nd offspring of Juan and Edelia Gomez’s twelve children. This, my second non-fiction novel, was inspired by the tremendous acceptance of my first self-published book, “Mama and Papa’s Twelve Children and the “Y”, a 1996 publication.
