Hear from the Fans

  • "It’s an uplifting story of one man’s journey through life, his family’s history and how their struggle led him to succeed in life. Ernie may have started out with a hard life but his family’s sacrifices and values helped lead him to fulfilling careers in public service that ultimately put him in the middle class. His story and his family’s story is every immigrant’s story. They come to America for a better life for their children and the generations beyond, they work hard, do the jobs no one else wants, make many sacrifices that sometimes include shortening or sacrificing their own lives all to ensure their kids do not suffer what they did. Dennis Garcia’s writing flows smoothly, bringing you in and making you attached to the Garcia family. I thoroughly enjoyed it!"

  • "Especially in these times, I feel it is important for all Americans to understand the sacrifices immigrants make to build a better life for their family and for the generations to come. I doubt you could find a better telling of that immigrant story in a midwestern biography."

  • "Great book, inspiring story! This books tells a story of the grit and determination that is behind every pursuit of the American Dream. Wonderful narrative. 10 out of 10, recommend."

  • "The American Dream is one that every immigrant has and in this book we get a glimpse into Ernest's journey and the ultimate realization of his grandparents' and great-grandparents' dreams. The Mexican-American experience over the last 100 years varies from region to region, and in this book we get a sense of the midwestern experience. Ernest's service to country and his dedication to serving others is inspiring and should be applauded. Garcia leaves you with a sense of pride and patriotism that is inspiring for every generation."

Upcoming Release

Coming Soon: Las Madres

Be among the first to experience the gripping narratives of Dennis Raphael Garcia's upcoming book, Las Madres - an incredible story of generational resilience and transformation.

Las Madres is a family memoir that tells the story of three generations of women in Garcia’s family. It recounts the difficult challenges each of them faced in their lifetimes in pursuit of the same goal—the advancement of the well-being of their families from poverty to success.Las Madres focuses on Candelaria Garcia, who was born in Mexico; her daughter Rafaela, and the author’s mother, Rafaela’s daughter Irene. Each of these Latina women followed a separate path on their journey to the same objective--security and freedom from want.

Though they traveled with apprehension and uncertainty into unknown places and arenas, they were courageous, patient, and steadfast in their pursuit.Las Madres dispels any notion that immigrants and their families who come to the United States are given a life of ease. Very few people living on the high plains of Kansas in 1900 had it easy, especially Mexican railroad workers and their families.

Their story reminds readers that there is no one true path to achieve an end. Las Madres will inspire readers, especially Latina women, to continue the pursuit of their dreams.
