Theododocia McLean of BMGN created this promo for my newest book. Thank you, Theodocia! If you haven’t read it yet you can pick it up on Amazon as a kindle or paperback.
When I wrote this book I put my heart and soul into it to make it worthy of my grandmother. Even though it is a work of fiction I borrowed my grandmother’s personality and some of her events in her life and embellished them quite a bit. There are some things that are true while others are not. You will have to read it to find out what I mean. I also explained in my Author’s Note about these things.
I had to warn my family that they may see themselves or something in the book that they remember and that most of the events in it were from my overwrought imagination. There is one particular event that may get them to start a search for…Of course I can’t tell you that. You must read the book to find out what.
If you have ancestors who emigrated from another country to America you will love this book. It will bring back memories and create more in your mind of what must have transpired back then. You will realize how resilient your ancestors were to traverse such a long way to begin a new life in a strange and unknown country. Some of my readers have mentioned this – that they appreciate their grandparents and parents for what they had to endure to pave the way for them in this wonderful country. I hope you will experience the same good feelings about your ancestors. May this story bring you closer to them. God Bless.
As always I love reviews and appreciate the time it took to write and post them to Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Goodreads. I welcome comments from readers about any of my books on this blog or by email at jjspina(at)comcast(dot)net.
Here is one review from Amazon which brought a smile to my face and some tap dancing to my feet!
Richard V. Battle5.0 out of 5 stars What a delightful read!Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2021J. E. Spina’s historical fiction story, inspired by her grandmother, tells the American dream through the eyes of one family. It Covers six generations, three continents, includes multiple love stories and the joys and adventures of almost 100 years.
It is an honest, candid, sincere, and comprehensive chronicle of life! It made me think of my grandparents and wish I had learned more of their stories. If you have that opportunity, do so!
Some believe the American dream is no longer alive, but I would disagree. Reading Lubelia Alycea, you will be encouraged to live your American dream because of their example of overcoming the vagaries of life to realize their dream.
Five stars!
