“I would like to congratulate you, Mr. Gomez, on your book "A Mexican Twilight". Your story has the potential to add a much needed page to the history of immigrants. It resonates with all who empathize with the human condition and the high cost of the American Dream.”

"Thank you, Cecil, for the opportunity to read your latest book "A Mexican Twilight". I found it to be a wonderful blend of family, political, and local history set in Mexico and the United States. Your weaving of factual history relating to your family and the two countries, with mental images of how it must have been, created a beautiful story that makes the reader want to stay close to the journey with your characters. Much of the written history seems to be written from eyes at the top. Thank you for presenting a view from street level, where there was not always hard pavement and defined routes."
Roy Heim – President
Southwest Tulsa Historical Society
"A well written 'look back' at a desperate time in Mexican history for those poor people south of the Rio Grande. For those who chose to abandon their country, their decision to 'leave it all behind' took an incredible amount of courage - yet through it all, they maintained optimism and their gentle spirit. The story - a good read - reminds us 'gringos' to take a hard look at our prejudices."
Shearl Barton, Local Businessman
Choteau, Oklahoma
"A Mexican Twilight is absolutely stupendous. Not only is it a beautiful story of a close-knit family becoming established in the United States, but also, worthy of a movie. The parents had a deep-rooted faith in God that allowed them to overcome challenging obstacles and gave their offspring the education they needed to achieve the American Dream."
