In the novel "The Blue Mexican," the Hispanic son of a career
military man slowly transforms into adulthood as he fuels a
three-decade long search for meaning in an ever-changing universe
traveling from Italy to Ohio to Texas to California beginning in
the 1960s.
The boy grows up fearing girls and fighting, but his episodic
adventures lead him through a potpourri of colorful characters as
he develops crushes on girls, joins the Cub Scouts, and pilfers
from his employer. But his young existence is not without
hurdles-when he enters junior high in Ohio, he confronts racism for
the first time. Conflicted by generational, ethnic, and personal
values during the Summer of Love in San Francisco and his
subsequent law enforcement career, his experiences lead him to
explore the hypocrisy and treachery of the system he has sworn to
protect. As he questions his quest for truth and enlightenment in a
world of victims and suspects, an anonymous murder breathes life
and meaning into insignificant members of society, welfare, and the
politics surrounding illegal immigration.
"The Blue Mexican" is a poignant and humorous glimpse into one
man's soul and small town America during a turbulent, yet
influential period in history.
