Welcome to my PWR Author's Page - Celeste Leon
PWR member Celeste Leon is pleased to announce that her novel, "Luck Is Just the Beginning," which was inspired by the true story of her father, has just been released by Floricanto Press.
When nineteen-year-old, Ramon Leon wins the Puerto Rican Lottery in 1944, he believes that his promise to open the first medical and dental clinic in his village can be achieved. But a series of catastrophic events intervenes.
"Luck Is Just the Beginning" is not only an enchanting story of the joys and sorrows of family, but the saga of one man's determination to see his dream through. To read reviews or an excerpt, or to purchase a copy, visit, www.celesteleon.com.
Desiree Zamorano, author of "The Amado Women," states, "Emotionally pitch-perfect and skillfully written, this historical novel transports the reader on an unforgettable journey to a time and place most of us have never known."
Alex Espinoza, author of "The Five Acts of Diego Leon," states, "'Luck Is Just the Beginning,' announces the arrival of a gifted and intuitive writer, whose heart, grace, and compassion will surely win her a devoted readership. Leon's debut novel places her among the most exciting Latina writers working today."
David Sundstrand, author of "Shadow of the Raven, Shadows of Death," states, "Celeste Leon's biographical novel of her father's struggles to become a healer among the people of Puerto Rico follows Ramon Leon's twisting tale from exultation to despair and finally to fulfillment. Above all, it is a gripping story of heartbreak, courage, and self-sacrifice, of one man's struggle to find the right path to his dream. It will take your breath away and warm your heart."
