Synopsis "Sojourner: A Tale of A Legal Immigrant (in English)"
A few years ago the author was invited to get "under the bed" by his six-year-old granddaughter so she could show him the wonderland that she and her momma had created just for her. As she led him on her journey he was reminded that everyone has their own "journey" to travel through life and the idea for this book took root. Sojourner is the story of a strong-willed Belgian boy uprooted by his equally strong-willed father to immigrate to the United States. Speaking only Flemish, he is thrown head-long into a land of immense geography and immense differences in culture; a land in which he must struggle against the barriers of language, prejudice, a seemingly tyrannical father, and his own demons to become an American and build a life he can call his own. The journey takes him through Catholic and public school to a four year stint in the Navy, and finally to a sometimes harrowing sometimes hilarious thirty-four-year career as a San Antonio, Texas police officer. Along with the highs and lows that the job of policing in one of America's largest cities presents, you will also witness how the stress of the job affects not only him, but the lives of those he loves the most.
