Twilight in the City of Angels
Description:
Jose De la Luz Santiago was larger than life for everyone he encountered, including the train that tried to take him down. Though he was left with a deep dent in his forehead, his joyous disposition and a complex faith built around Jose Cuervo Tequila, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and The Union Pacific Railroad-his personal trinity-Jose was undaunted by life. Los Angeles was built by him and around him, and Jose fought to keep the spirit of the city alive when "progress" dismantled the red car system and greed wiped out the Chavez Ravine. In a story full of the kind of magic you have to embrace because it is the magic of humanity, Twilight in the City of Angels is the journey we all experience from believing without knowing, through the knowledge that robs your faith, to the greater understanding that makes not knowing okay. Though some see Jose as a saint, others see him as a fool, and it all depends on where they are in the journey. But, everyone ever touched by Jose has a story to tell and an indelible mark on their soul.
