Gone to America

By David J. Lorenzana

This is a memoir presented in an anthological - like format; in other words, a collection of short stories, on the life of the author. It starts when he was growing up in the Philippine countryside of Ilocos Sur province. Just like a normal kid, he played with his friends, did crazy things, went to school and moved to Manila, for his college education. He got married while in fifth year college, but still graduated on time. This book relates his struggles, failures, as well as successes, including his coming to America. Searching for the American Dream was no picnic either, but with perseverance, he achieved some of them in modest ways. Foreigners planning to immigrate to the great ol' USA could get glimpses, on what it takes, to come and live in America.
