The Imbondeiro Tree: A Memoir

By Anna M. Augusto

2nd Edition

Set in three different continents and spanning more than eight decades, this memoir paints an intimate portrait of one resilient young man as he forges his identity and fulfills his dreams, despite wrenching loss.

The Imbondeiro Tree is the true story of Antonio Augusto, born in the isolated Azores Islands of Portugal with big dreams. One day, he decides to travel to Angola, Africa with a friend and his life is never the same again. Africa is a harsh, unforgiving continent, yet he is eternally mesmerized by its charms. When a brutal civil war erupts in 1975 Antonio must hold onto his faith and determination. Can he escape the war unscathed?

From the coastal villages of the Azores and the untamed jungles of Africa to Southern California, The Imbondeiro Tree is a testament to the power of ambition and faith and the triumph of the human spirit.
