What would you give up today for a better tomorrow? Many give up the only world they know in pursuit of a brighter future.
Spanning over a century, "Pursuing a Better Tomorrow" is more than a memoir of three generations: it's an inspiring cross-generational journey from Spain to the U.S.
Four interconnected stories focus on main characters from different eras, illustrating the challenges and opportunities of immigration, acculturation, coming of age, and self-discovery. The characters showcase the strength needed to achieve a better tomorrow, shaped by the twists, turns, and synchronistic events of their lives.
The novel transports readers to a time long forgotten, offering a readable historical overview of the Taíno, the conquistadors, early settlers, the Spanish Empire, and the Dominican Republic, interspersed within the narrative through the perspectives of the era's characters.
De La Rosa candidly shares her coming-of-age story of self-discovery as she transitions from New York City's projects to corporate America. From humble beginnings, despite myriad challenges, a life of untold blessings and opportunities unfolds.
