About the Book

Lewels' tales of a young Mexican-American coming of age on the border are riveting. Sometimes they are zany and at other times heart breaking. He writes with great clarity and wit. His conversational style makes you feel he is speaking directly to you. It is a much-needed book about the history of the border as seen through the eyes of a kid trying desperately to assimilate into American society. The book sheds light on an area of the country that is wildly misunderstood.
About the Author: Joe Lewels is the author of Uses of the Media by the Chicano Movement: A Study in Minority Access; The God Hypothesis: Extraterrestrial Life and its Implications for Science and Religion; Rulers of the Earth: Secrets of the Sons of God; and numerous newspaper, magazine and journal articles. He holds a Ph.D. in journalism and mass communication from the University of Missouri, an M.S. in education from Troy State University, and a B.A. in journalism from Texas Western College, now the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP.) He was an associate professor with tenure and chairman of the departments of journalism and mass communication at UTEP from 1972-1982, and he was a vice president and an international financial advisor at Merrill Lynch from 1982-2013. He was the editor of the "Freedom of Information Digest" at the University of Missouri and a writer/editor at the "U.S. Army Aviation Digest Magazine" at Fort Rucker, AL. He served as a communications consultant at the U.S. Department of Justice and at the Federal Communications Commission in 1972.
