Braving A New World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780982648490)

It's 1962. Portuguese immigrant, Veronica arrives in the US with her new husband, via a prearranged marriage to her cousin, in search of the American Dream. That dream proves to be elusive.
While raising her two sons, Veronica struggles to balance her domineering live-in mother-in-law, and her failing marriage. Since divorce is out of the question, she is faced with the difficult choice: leave her husband and run away with her sons, get rid of her mother-in-law through extreme measures, or simply follow the guidance from her mentor, Aunt Heydee, whose advice still rings in her ears, "grab the bull by the horns and stop complaining."

Book II of Veronica's Adventures candidly covers Veronica's quest for self-discovery as she is Braving a New World.

"...an amazing journey of excitement, fear, pain, strength and courage...a true testament that anyone can overcome adversity and alter the course of their life to achieve things they never thought possible." Jennifer Ott, Photographer, artist of Ooh Baby Compound me: Give me Credit, Wild Horses, and Edge of Civilization.

"...a pleasant walk through the 70's and 80's. This book is an enjoyable reading experience." Karen Sorbel, Producer and Editor for Willamette Falls Television.
