Part social commentary and part immigrant tale, but wholly an entertaining and enjoyable read.
When Pedro arrives in Rose, a small town in West Texas, he believes he has found the land of opportunity. Instead, he plants the seeds for his future in a harsh country where discrimination and lies are the means of survival. Pedro faces adversity with the naïve kindness that marks a good heart. Determined to attain the American dream, Pedro works hard and plays by all the rules, but his trusting nature is no match for the citizens of Rose.
Pedro's story is where hope, trust, deceit, and character entwine. Through a narrative based on the future, the question that prevails is: Could there be more to Pedro than the tale told by a downtrodden camarero looking for a little hope and inspiration?
