“Cecil. I’ve just this moment finished reading “A Mexican Twilight” and all I
can say is what my friends in Cuba say, ’Aye, Chico, su libro, que bueno es’.
You kept my attention focused for two whole days. Not many books do that
to me.”

Cecil. I read your book “A Mexican Twilight” and want to say I consider it
one of the best books I’ve ever read. I found it captivating, fascinating, sad,
hilarious, historical, and filled with suspense.”

“Cecil. Your story in “A Mexican Twilight” is so vivid and gripping. All
through your book, you describe the characters and personalities, as
well as common and complicated experiences so well, that it was hard
to put the book down.”
Marion Brodsky, Sept. 2, 2006
“As a member of Tulsa’s steering committee for the 2007 celebration of Oklahoma’s Centennial, I found “A Mexican Twilight” the answer to my prayers. In researching the Latinos present in our great state, this book was a poignant reminder of those brave souls that built our railroads, lived in the rail yards and raised productive families.”

“What a story of assimilation! I find “A Mexican Twilight” to be quite different because it is the wave from the 1880’s to the 1920’s that most authors have not stopped to examine, or worse yet, dismissed as too early to be relevant.”

Newspaper Quotes
“A Mexican Twilight” is timely for two reasons. It shows the historic scope of immigration in light of recent efforts to tighten the U.S. Mexico border and deal with an estimated 11 million undocumented people living here. Cecil’s story reminds us that most of us have a living member that came to America in the same way.”
Tulsa World, Sept. 10, 2006
“A Mexican Twilight” is a brilliant recreation of the exact circumstances facing millions of immigrants today, who in search of a better life, including peace and success, are leaving their native homeland. His parents are living proof of the many Mexicans who dared to cross over to the American frontier.”
El Nacional de Oklahoma Sept 14, 2006
“A Mexican Twilight” is a statement to the power of faith, hope, and love, and will make you feel good about an extraordinary family.”
Mike Nobles, Tulsa World, Aug 13, 2006
“Cecil’s book, “A Mexican Twilight” recalls the lives of a particular group of families who grew up in a place called the Y, surrounded by a triangle of railroad next door, next door, next door, literally, on all three sides of their residential community.”
