Abuela Don Forget Me - Rex Ogle Gebunden

In his award-winning memoir Free Lunch Rex Ogle's abuela features as a source of love and support. In this companion-in-verse Rex captures and celebrates the powerful presence of a woman he could always count on-to give him warm hugs and ear kisses to teach him precious words in Spanish to bring him to the library where he could take out as many books as he wanted and to offer safety when darkness closed in. Throughout a coming of age marked by violence and dysfunction Abuela's red-brick house in Abilene Texas offered Rex the possibility of home and Abuela herself the possibility for a better life. Abuela Don't Forget Me is a lyrical portrait of the transformative and towering woman who believed in Rex even when he didn't yet know how to believe in himself.
